Grace period if H-1B has been approved

My OPT ends at the end of May and having only a Bahcelor's degree, I can only apply for the H-1B visa beginning in October 1. I have applied for premium processing of my H-1.

My question is does approval of my H-1 allow me to stay in the country longer than the 60 day grace period after my OPT ends?

Also is there any indication form the USCIS as to whether students in such situations (OPT ends longer than 60days before H-1 begins) can remain in the country?

Thank you.
