Sepp Blatter and Michel Platini are still being paid by FIFA and UEFA respectively despite being suspended.
A spokesman for FIFA's Audit and Compliance Committee confirmed Blatter is still being paid his full salary and will be until a new president is elected on February 26.
Blatter was suspended for 90 days by FIFA on October 8 and then banned from the game for eight years last month for ethics violations over a £1.35m payment FIFA made to Platini with his approval in 2011.
Blatter will have been paid for nearly five months before he is forced to step down during which time he was unable to carry out his duties, and a period in which FIFA has appointed an acting president, African football head Issa Hayatou.
The compensation sub-committee of FIFA's Audit and Compliance Committee recently ruled that it could stop Blatter's bonuses but not, according to his contract, his salary.
"Until the election of a new president on February 26, Mr Blatter is the elected president and therefore - according to his contract - is entitled to receive his remuneration," the spokesman said.
Blatter's lawyer and his Switzerland-based spokesman could not be immediately reached for comment.
A UEFA statement said: "Mr Platini is receiving a salary from UEFA, and will continue to do so until further notice. Individual salaries are of a confidential nature and therefore are not disclosed."
FIFA is facing the worst corruption crisis in it history as a total of 41 individuals and entities, including many former FIFA officials, have been charged with corruption-related offences in the United States. The US-led investigation is far from over and FIFA also faces a parallel Swiss probe.
Blatter's bonuses have been stopped because he was not carrying out his duties of supervising the organisation, including its general secretary.
Only last week, FIFA announced that Jerome Valcke was fired from his position as general secretary. It gave no reason but an investigation had followed allegations of corruption related to World Cup ticket sales.
