Fill in Missing Dates

Hi all,

 

I know there's quite a few examples of people filling in missing dates, but I can't figure out how to apply the solutions to my scenario.

The dataset I'm working has quarterly data, but I need to add some additional records to split the data around the issue_date anniversary and fill in the gaps.

How can I create extra rows like I have in my attached desired output? Note the pol_yr_begin and pol_yr_end columns aren't always accurate, but basically what I want is this.
