Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is expected to get Secret Service protection on Tuesday, according to an administration official.
The campaign of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich requested Secret Service protection last week and is awaiting word on whether he will receive the security.
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has received the protection since February 1.
Secret Service protection is given to each major party's presidential nominee but can be provided earlier if the Homeland Security Department approves a campaign's request.
