If a participant takes a hardship distribution from a 401(k) plan that has life insurance, how does the life insurance premium get paid for the year in which they are not deferring any money? Can the employer 3% contribution go towards this premiums in order to keep the policy current?

Assuming that the insurance contract is a participant directed investment, then expenses related to that investment should be allocated to that participant. The 3% employer contribution or any other asset in that participant's account can be used to pay the insurance premiums.
