This law gives the Vice President a $20,000 yearly expense allowance, paid monthly. It covers costs of doing the job, and the Vice President doesn't have to account for how it's spent, except for income tax purposes.

The Vice President gets $20,000 per year, paid in equal monthly installments, to help cover expenses from doing official duties. The Vice President doesn't have to explain or itemize how this money is spent — the only exception is that it still has to be reported for income tax purposes.
