    Correct Answer

    Explanation

    Correct Answer

    • Pay the face amount minus the past due premium

    • Subtract past due premium from cash value

This allows the policy owner to forget to pay their premium for an entire month without losing their coverage. However, if the insured dies during that grace period, without making the premium payment, the insurance company will subtract the past-due premium from the benefit or face value BEFORE paying the beneficiary.

    • Annually

    • Semiannually

    • Quarterly

    • Monthly

    Correct Answer

    The correct answer is Monthly. If someone is receiving disability income payments, it typically means they are not able to work. Since most bills come monthly, and the insured is depending on their disability income to pay those bills, the insurance company must make disability income payments at least once a month. Anytime the insurance company is going to be making periodic payments to an insured, they must make them at least once a month.
