\nOn August 12,2013 at Pioneer Credit Recovery, Senator Charles E. Schumer toured the facility and met with employees following his successful effort to oppose a legislative offset that would have risked hundreds of jobs in Sallie Mae's three Western New York facilities: Pioneer Credit Recovery's two facilities in Arcade and Perry in Wyoming County and its General Revenue Corporation site in Horseheads, NY in Chemung County. The offset was proposed during the debate on the student loan rate bill, and Schumer successfully prevented the measure from making it into the final bill, thus preserving 850 jobs at Pioneer's three locations, 315 of which are located at the Perry facility.
