Checking / posting every month

[Talab1234]

1. She is checking the status every month.
2. We are posting online every month.
3. Ever month we are assessing the provision and adjusting where necessary

Can we use the present continuous tense for actions completed regularly?

Are the 3 sentences above grammatically correct?

Yes, the present continuous tense is used to express a longer action, spread over a period of time, not necessarily non-stop, which is currently in progress.

The three verb forms are grammatically possible, but they suggest that the duration of the on-going activity is limited. If it is likely that the activities will continue well into the foreseeable future, the unmarked tense/present simple would be more natural.

That suggests to me that the checking, posting and assessing are occurring at the moment of speaking/writing. This is not necessarily the case. The actual action is not necessarily long.
