A term life policy will stay in force as long as you continue to pay the premiums due. If you miss a premium due date you will have a 31 day grace period to pay the premium due. Your policy will remain in force during the grace period.An individual term life policy can be canceled by the insurer only for non-payment of premium. If you do not pay the overdue premium payment within the grace period your term policy will terminate. The policy cannot be canceled due to a change in your health status. If you purchase term insurance through a group such as an employer-employee group your term coverage may terminate when you are no longer an eligible member of that group e.g. your employment ends. Be sure to read the termination provision of your group term life certificate.
