California Code, Financial Code - FIN § 18292

(a) If credit disability insurance is provided pursuant to this division, it shall not provide indemnity against the risk of a borrower becoming disabled for a period of less than 14 days.  The insurance may provide indemnity for any single period of continuous disability of 14 days or longer, after which the risk may become compensable.  The insurance may be offered with retroactive coverage to an earlier date based upon the disability having continued for a period stated in the policy, but if insurance with retroactive coverage is offered, it shall also be offered without retroactive coverage, and the premium rate for each coverage shall be separately stated in writing to the borrower.

(b) If insurance with retroactive coverage is provided, the coverage shall provide for a prorated payment based upon the fraction of the month during which the insured is disabled, provided that the insured is continuously disabled during the waiting period set forth in the policy.  If insurance without retroactive coverage is provided, the coverage shall provide for a prorated payment based upon the fraction of the month during which the insured is disabled, after first excluding the elimination period set forth in the policy.  For the purpose of this subdivision, a month is any period of 30 consecutive days.

(c) Credit disability insurance, if made available by an industrial loan company, shall be available on a monthly or annual premium basis, and the premium by the month shall not exceed a pro rata relationship to the annual premium.  Credit disability insurance need not be offered for a period less than the term of the loan to which it is applicable and no credit disability insurance shall be written for a period in excess of the term of the loan to which it is applicable.

(d) The monthly disability benefit payable with respect to an open end loan shall not exceed the monthly payment computed pursuant to Section 18300 on the outstanding balance at the time the disability is incurred.
