Why D is correct
Under G.S. 58-58-22(1), an individual life policy must allow a grace period of 31 days for payment of every premium after the first, and death-benefit coverage stays in force during the grace period. If a claim arises during grace, the insurer may deduct the overdue premium from the proceeds paid.
Why the other options are wrong
- A) Seven days is the weekly-premium A&H grace figure under G.S. 58-51-15(a)(3), not the life figure.
- B) Ten days is the monthly-premium A&H grace figure under G.S. 58-51-15(a)(3).
- C) Forty-five days is the outer mailing limit for premium-forfeiture notices under G.S. 58-58-120, not the grace period.
Memory hook
Life grace is a month and a day — thirty-one.
