§ 16-311

(a) On default of a premium payment due on a policy of life insurance at a time other than the policy anniversary, any cash surrender value and paid-up nonforfeiture benefit available under the policy shall be calculated with an allowance for the lapse of time and the payment of any fractional premiums since the immediately preceding policy anniversary.
