Marla Ross is the policyowner-insured of a $50,000 term life policy. The policy's
annual renewal premium is due on May 1. The policy contains a 31-day grace
period provision.
If Marla dies on May 15 without having paid the renewal premium due, the
insurance company will deduct the amount of the unpaid renewal premium from
the policy's proceeds.
a. true
b. false - ANSWERS-A. - Because Marla's policy is still in the grace period, the
insurance coverage is still in force and the insurer is liable for the policy's full
benefit less the amount of the unpaid premium.
Marla Ross's sister Janine is the policyowner-insured of a universal life policy.
Janine has not made a premium payment in four years; the insurer has used the
policy's cash value to pay the monthly mortality and expense (M&E) charges. On
June 1, the cash value of Janine's policy is zero. The grace period for Janine's
policy begins on that date.
Beginning on June 1, Janine will have how many days to make a premium
payment to cover the M&E charges and keep the policy from lapsing?

a. 15 days
b. 30 or 31 days
c. 61 or 62 days - ANSWERS-B. - The grace period for a universal life insurance
policy will last for 61 or 62 days, beginning on the date on which the cash value is

zero, the grace period will continue for 30 or 31 days after that date.
Marla Ross's sister Janine is the policyowner-insured of a universal life policy.
Janine has not made a premium payment in four years; the insurer has used the
policy's cash value to pay the monthly mortality and expense (M&E) charges. On
June 1, the cash value of Janine's policy is zero. The grace period for Janine's
policy begins on that date.
If Janine from the previous example dies during the grace period without having
made a payment, the insurer will deduct the amount of overdue M&E risk charges
from the policy proceeds.
a. true
b. false - ANSWERS-A. Because Janine's policy is still in the grace period, the
insurance coverage is still in force. Therefore, the insurer will pay the policy
proceeds but will first deduct the amount of overdue M&E risk charges.
