H.R. 4407 would authorize the appropriation of $11.7 million for each year through 2022 for
the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) program. The SCORE program is run by
the nonprofit SCORE Association, which receives federal funding from the Small Business
Administration (SBA). That program engages volunteers to provide business mentoring and
training to existing and prospective small business owners. H.R. 4407 also would require the
SBA to conduct an annual financial examination of the SCORE Association, report to the
Congress annually on the performance and effectiveness of the program, and review and
approve contracts entered into by the association.
In 2019, the SBA allocated $11.7 million for that program. Because CBO scores continuing
resolutions on an annualized basis, in 2020 CBO assumes that the SBA will allocate the
same amount from funds made available under the continuing resolution (Public Law 116-
59), which provided appropriations through November 21, 2019. As a result, CBO does not
estimate any increase in spending subject to appropriation in 2020 because the amount the
bill would authorize for 2020 is equal to the amount CBO expects would be allocated under
the continuing resolution. Based on historical spending patterns, CBO estimates that
implementing the bill would cost $23 million over the 2020-2024 period, assuming
appropriation of the authorized amounts for 2021 and 2022.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is David Hughes. The estimate was reviewed by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
