Under Oklahoma insurance law and standard group life insurance provisions, a group life policy includes a mandatory grace period of 31 days for the payment of premiums (except the first premium, which must be paid to initiate coverage). During this grace period, the policy remains in force, and the full death benefit is payable if the insured dies, provided the premium is eventually paid or the policy has not lapsed.

Option A: Incorrect. Coverage is not discontinued during the grace period; it continues to protect the insured.

Option B: Incorrect. The death benefit is not reduced to 50% during the grace period; it remains at 100% of the policy’s face amount.

Option C: Correct. The death benefit coverage continues in force during the 31-day grace period, as mandated by Oklahoma law.

Option D: Incorrect. The death benefit is not reduced to 75%; it remains fully in effect.

This provision is outlined in Oklahoma statutes and aligns with the Prometric exam content outline under “Provisions, Options, Exclusions, Riders, Clauses, and Rights,” which includes knowledge of grace periods in group life policies.
