Your loan requires you to have coverage - ALL the time. Yes, they can do this because your contract with them allows it.

You agreed to this when you signed your mortgage. If you look at your policy, a claim can be made up to 3 years after the fact. So, the mortgage company is covering their interest in your property in case damage is discovered which can be traced back to that time period you were uncovered.

It is legal and always used when the Homeowner lapses coverage. It is also Extreamly expensive and only covers the banks interest.
