What is the grace period for the expiration date for yeast?

I have 9/19/14 best used by date. I intend to brew in a week.

I have gone a week or two before without a problem, but a month - I am not so sure.

If expiration is 9/19, then it was packaged on 3/19. That puts it at 18% viability. Make a starter and you're fine. It's still under pitching some, but you're good. I buy expired yeast all the time.
