Additional Information
When can I start using services?
Most members can begin using services after a 24-month vesting period. This period allows your Service Bank to build and ensures the sustainability of the program.
Service access then increases with age:
- Ages 30–40: Limited quarterly access
- Ages 41–50: Increased access
- Ages 51–65: Monthly access
- Age 65+: Full access to all services
Why is there a vesting period?
Norient is designed for long-term planning, not short-term or emergency-only use. The vesting period protects members and ensures resources are available when support needs increase later in life.
Can I add pet care to my plan?
Yes. Members may add a Pet Plan, which includes coordination for pet hospice and cremation services when needed.
What happens if I don’t use my Service Bank for years?
Unused Service Bank balances continue to accumulate. Many members choose to use services later in life when needs increase, such as after retirement or at age 65+.
What happens to my Service Bank if I pass away?
Depending on your selections, Service Bank balances may be:
- Used to cover funeral or estate-related coordination
- Rolled over to a spouse or eligible family member
- Transferred according to program rules
If no claim is made within 180 days, remaining balances revert to Norient.
Can my children inherit my Service Bank?
Children may be listed on your application. However:
- They cannot access Service Bank balances until age 30
- They must enroll and contribute at the applicable rate for two years before accessing services
Service Bank balances are not inherited as cash.
What if I’m married or partnered?
Each adult must maintain their own Base Plan. If one partner passes away, eligible Service Bank balances may be rolled over to the surviving partner according to program rules.
Is Norient an investment or savings plan?
No. Norient membership is not an investment, savings account, insurance product, or financial instrument. The Service Bank exists solely to fund Norient services and advocacy support.
Can I cancel my membership?
Yes. Members may cancel at any time, subject to the terms outlined in the membership agreement. Service Bank balances are non-refundable and non-transferable outside of program rules.
Does Norient guarantee outcomes or services?
Yes. Norient guarantees access to its core advocacy and coordination services. Certain services may be subject to eligibility requirements, geographic availability, and a sufficient Service Bank balance. Timelines and scope may vary based on these factors.
How is Norient different from relying on family?
Norient provides consistent, professional advocacy without emotional strain, geographic limitations, or changing personal circumstances. We complement family support rather than replace it.
How do I get started?
You can begin by contacting Norient for a consultation. Early enrollment provides the greatest long-term flexibility and benefit.
