A grace period for the payment of premiums would be set forth in the insurance policy itself, as it is a matter of contract. Since insurance contracts are regulated by the State, the Department of Insurance would normally have ensured that the terms of the policy complied with any governing statute on the subject.

If there is a correlation between coverage duration and frequency of payment, it, too, would be set forth in the policy. In general, though, a monthly premium would normally correlate with a month of coverage, whereas, for example, a premium that is payable quarterly would normally correlate with three month's of coverage.

Naturally, the continued existence of coverage depends upon receipt by the insurer of the specified premium when due (inclusive of the grace period). Most often, a policy is issued for a term such as six months or a year. The premium payments may be extended over the whole or some part of that term. The policy will usually be subject to cancellation if premium payments are not made as agreed.

As long as we pay our dues on time the policy remains in force. The moment we stop paying our premiums the policy lapses and the insurance cover provided by the policy becomes nullified.
