What happens if I miss a premium payment?

If a customer misses a premium payment for their Standard Insurance policy, several consequences may arise depending on the specific terms of their policy. Typically, there is a grace period during which the customer can make the payment without facing penalties. This grace period usually lasts around thirty days, but it is important for customers to check their policy documents for the exact duration. If the payment is not made by the end of the grace period, the policy may lapse, which means that the coverage will no longer be in effect. This can leave the insured without protection until the premium is paid and the policy is reinstated. In some cases, reinstatement may require additional steps, such as providing proof of insurability or paying a reinstatement fee. Furthermore, missing a payment can potentially result in negative effects on the customer’s credit score if the overdue amount is reported. To avoid these situations, customers are encouraged to keep track of their payment due dates.
