President Clinton is the last president to have lifetime protection from the secret service. Every president after him will only have secret service protection to 10 years. In 2013, President Obama signed legislation restoring Lifetime Secret Service protection to former Presidents.
According to current legislation, a former First Lady receives Secret Service protection for her lifetime, unless she decides to decline it.

Nancy Reagan receives Secret Service protection for the rest of her life. From Wikipedia: In 1965, Congress authorized the Secret Service (Public Law 89-186)[15] to protect a former president and his spouse during their lifetime, unless they decline protection. In 1997, Congress enacted legislation that limits Secret Service protection for former presidents to ten years after leaving office. Under this new law, individuals who were in office before January 1, 1997 will continue to receive Secret Service protection for their lifetime. Individuals entering office after that time will receive protection for ten years after leaving office. Therefore, former President Bill Clinton will be the last president to receive lifetime protection, and former President George W. Bush is the first to receive protection for only ten years (until 2019).
