For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an out of period adjustment that decreased net income attributable to common stockholders by $9.9 million ( $14.2 million pre-tax). The adjustment related to a net over-capitalization of deferred acquisition costs, primarily at one of the Global Preneed international subsidiaries, occurring over a ten-year period. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adjustments and concluded that it is not material, individually and in the aggregate, to the current year-to-date period or any prior period financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Lease accounting: On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease guidance on a modified retrospective basis and therefore did not restate comparative periods. The new guidance requires that entities recognize assets and liabilities associated with leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company and its subsidiaries lease office space and equipment under operating lease arrangements for which the Company is the lessee. Therefore, the primary change at the time of adoption involved the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases with terms in excess of 12 months in which the Company is the lessee. Upon adoption, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the carryforward of 1) historical lease classifications, 2) the prior assessment of whether a contract is or contains a lease, and 3) initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption. As of January 1, 2019, the new lease liability and right-of-use asset was $85.3 million and $78.0 million , respectively. Deferred rent liability of $7.3 million , which was required under the previous guidance, was reversed. There was an immaterial impact on equity upon adoption. As of September 30, 2019, the lease liability and right-of-use asset was $83.0 million and $75.8 million , respectively. These balances are included in accounts payable and other liabilities and other assets, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the operating lease cost recognized for leases with terms in excess of 12 months was $5.3 million and $16.7 million , respectively, and related cash outflows reducing the lease liability was $5.2 million and $15.8 million , respectively. At September 30, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate was 6.6 years and 4.5% , respectively. Not Yet Adopted Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments held at amortized cost (“CECL”) : In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, the amended guidance eliminates the probable recognition threshold and instead requires an entity to reflect the current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses will be measured in a manner similar to current accounting requirements; however, the amended guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company expects to adopt the amended guidance on its effective date of January 1, 2020. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this amended guidance and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. While the Company expects an increase in its allowances for credit losses related to financial assets within scope of the standard, principally reinsurance receivables and commercial mortgage loans on real estate, the amount of the allowance will be dependent on the asset composition and economic conditions at that time of adoption. Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Targeted Transition Relief: In May 2019, the FASB issued guidance which provides transition relief for entities adopting CECL. The transition relief will allow companies to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of CECL, the fair value option on financial instruments that were previously measured at amortized cost basis. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The effective date of the guidance will be the same as the effective date for CECL. An entity may early adopt the guidance in any interim period after its issuance if the entity has adopted CECL. The transition amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings balance in the statement of financial position as of the date that an entity adopted the amendments in CECL. The Company is evaluating the cost and benefit of the transition relief from this guidance in its overall adoption of the guidance under CECL and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract : In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance aligning the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. For these arrangements, the guidance also limits the period to expense capitalized implementation costs based on the term of the hosting agreement, including the noncancellable period of the arrangement plus periods covered by options to extend the arrangement that are reasonably certain of exercise. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The guidance is required to be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts : In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that provides targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts. The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting benefit reserves will no longer be locked-in but must be updated at least annually with the impact of changes to the liability reflected in earnings (except for discount rates); the discount rate assumptions will be based on an upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield instead of the earnings rate of invested assets; the discount rate must be evaluated at each reporting date and the impact of changes to the liability estimate as a result of updating the discount rate assumption is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income; the provision for adverse deviation is eliminated; and premium deficiency testing is eliminated. Other noteworthy changes include the following: differing models for amortizing deferred acquisition costs will become uniform for all long-duration contracts based on a constant rate over the expected term of the related in-force contracts; all market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be reported at fair value with changes reflected in income except for changes related to credit risk which will be recognized in other comprehensive income; and disclosures will be expanded to include disaggregated roll forwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement. As the FASB has approved a one-year delay in October 2019 for public business entities, the guidance is now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the amendments are applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented with two transition options available for changing the assumptions.

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions TWG Acquisition On May 31, 2018 (the “Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired TWG Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (as subsequently reorganized, “TWG”) for total consideration of $2.47 billion . This amount included $894.9 million in cash, the repayment of TWG’s $595.9 million pre-existing debt and issuance of $975.5 million of Assurant, Inc. common stock. As a result, the equityholders of TWG, including TPG Capital and certain of its affiliates (“TPG”), received a total of 10.4 million shares of Assurant, Inc. common stock. In March 2019, TPG sold all remaining shares of common stock held by certain of its affiliates in an underwritten secondary public offering. TWG specializes in the underwriting, administration and marketing of service contracts on a wide variety of consumer goods, including automobiles, consumer electronics and major home appliances. Fair Value of Net Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed The initial accounting for the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed included certain provisional amounts recorded as of June 30, 2018 (the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurred). During the measurement period (which included the period from June 1, 2018 to May 31, 2019), the Company adjusted the provisional amounts to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the Acquisition Date, which, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. Such adjustments impacted certain identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, resulting in a net increase to total identifiable net assets acquired and a corresponding decrease in goodwill of $25.7 million . The adjustments to income that would have been recognized in previous periods if the measurement period adjustments had been completed as of the Acquisition Date were immaterial. Assets acquired and (liabilities) assumed Fixed maturity securities available for sale $ 2,268.8 Equity securities 49.4 Short-term investments 165.5 Other investments 100.9 Cash and cash equivalents 380.1 Premiums and accounts receivable, net 286.2 Reinsurance recoverables 1,908.7 Accrued investment income 31.6 Property and equipment 15.4 Value of business acquired 3,973.0 Other intangible assets 459.7 Other assets 200.0 Unearned premiums and contract fees (7,512.6 ) Claims and benefits payable (419.9 ) Commissions payable (106.8 ) Reinsurance balances payable (186.1 ) Funds held under reinsurance (202.2 ) Accounts payable and other liabilities (381.7 ) Non-controlling interest (1.8 ) Total identifiable net assets acquired 1,028.2 Goodwill 1,438.1 Total acquisition consideration $ 2,466.3 Total goodwill of $1.44 billion is mainly attributable to expected growth and profitability, none of which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. VOBA and Other Intangible Assets The following table shows the purchase price allocation to value of business acquired (“VOBA”) and other intangible assets, including the effect of measurement period adjustments to provisional estimates as described above. Amount Value of business acquired (1) $ 3,973.0 Finite life (1): Customer related intangibles (distribution network) $ 390.3 Technology based intangibles 57.8 Total finite life other intangible assets 448.1 Indefinite life: Contract based intangibles 11.6 Total other intangible assets $ 459.7 (1) Refer to future estimated amortization table below for the amortization pattern of VOBA and other intangible assets with finite lives. Total amortization of VOBA related to TWG for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $282.4 million and $105.7 million , respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $874.8 million and $139.9 million , respectively. Total amortization of other intangible assets related to TWG for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $4.7 million and $3.9 million , respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $13.8 million and $5.3 million , respectively. At September 30, 2019, the estimated amortization of VOBA and other intangible assets with finite lives related to TWG for the remainder of 2019, the next five years and thereafter is as follows: Period VOBA Other Intangible Assets (with Finite Lives) October 1 - December 31, 2019 $ 241.4 $ 4.4 2020 801.0 26.1 2021 562.3 31.0 2022 346.1 34.9 2023 215.3 36.1 2024 76.7 36.5 Thereafter 7.3 254.0 Total $ 2,250.1 $ 423.0 Acquisition-related Costs Transaction costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred. These costs include advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other professional or consulting fees, as well as general and administrative costs. Transaction costs incurred to date in connection with the acquisition of TWG totaled $40.4 million . There were no significant transactions costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Transaction costs included in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $0.2 million and $30.2 million , respectively. Transaction costs were reported through the underwriting, general and administrative expenses line item in the consolidated statements of operations. As a part of the ongoing integration of TWG’s operations, the Company has incurred, and will continue to incur, costs associated with restructuring systems, processes and workforce. These costs include such items as severance, retention, facilities and consulting. Integration costs incurred to date in connection with the acquisition of TWG totaled $52.4 million , including $5.3 million and $10.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $21.9 million and $22.9 million

Investment in Ike

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investment in Ike	Investment in Iké In 2014, the Company made an approximately 40% investment in Iké Group, Iké Asistencia and certain of their subsidiaries (collectively, “Iké”), a services assistance business, for which we paid approximately $110.0 million . The Company also entered into a shareholders agreement with the majority shareholders that provided us with the right to acquire the remainder of Iké from the majority shareholders and the majority shareholders the right to put their interests in Iké to us (together, the “put/call”) in mid-2019. In April 2019, the Company entered into a cooperation agreement with the majority shareholders of Iké to explore strategic alternatives. The Company also agreed to extend the put/call to January 31, 2020. Based on the review of strategic alternatives as of September 30, 2019, the Company has decided to pursue the sale of its interests in Iké. The Company has determined that Iké is a variable interest entity (“VIE”); however, we do not have the controlling financial interest to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance. Accordingly, the investment in Iké is recorded under the equity method of accounting and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s income from its investment in Iké is included in fees and other income in the consolidated statements of operations. The estimated fair value of the put/call is remeasured each quarter and is included in accounts payable and other liabilities of the consolidated balance sheets and any gain or loss from changes in fair value is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Impairment of Investment and Charge on Put/Call The Company’s investment in Iké is assessed for possible impairment when events indicate that the fair value of the investment may be below the carrying value. The Company has committed to a plan to sell its interest in Iké and based on the current expectation of sales price, the Company determined that carrying value exceeds fair value and such impairment is other than temporary. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment on its 40% equity method investment in Iké of $66.8 million that includes consideration of cumulative foreign currency translation losses of $41.0 million recorded in other comprehensive income. In addition, the Company recorded a charge of $54.3 million related to the change in value of the put/call for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Valuation Allowance of Deferred Tax Assets Related to Investment in Iké The losses referenced above generated deferred tax assets when applying the applicable effective tax rate. The Company’s ability to realize the deferred tax assets depends on its ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the same character within the carryback or carryforward periods in the impacted jurisdiction. In assessing future taxable income, the Company considered all sources of taxable income available to realize the deferred tax assets, including the future reversal of existing temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, taxable income in carryback years and tax-planning strategies. The Company must record a valuation allowance to fully offset deferred tax assets if based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on an evaluation of the limited future sources of income in the impacted jurisdiction, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance on the $36.3 million of deferred taxes arising from the losses incurred for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as well as a $3.7 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets established in prior periods. In total, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $121.1 million and after-tax charges of $124.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded pre-tax charges of $130.5 million and after-tax charges of $131.4 million , reflecting additional change in value of the put/call recorded in the year-to-date period.

Contract Revenues

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Contracts Revenues	Contract Revenues The Company partners with clients to provide consumers a diverse range of protection products and services. The Company’s revenues from protection products are accounted for as insurance contracts and are recognized over the term of the insurance protection provided. Revenue from service contracts and sales of products are recognized as the contractual performance obligations are satisfied or the products are delivered. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for performing the services or transferring products. If payments are received before the related revenue is recognized, the amount is recorded as unearned revenue or advance payment liabilities, until the performance obligations are satisfied or the products are transferred. The disaggregated revenues from service contracts included in fees and other income on the consolidated statement of operations are $23.8 million and $48.5 million for Global Housing and $188.8 million and $147.4 million for Global Lifestyle for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The disaggregated revenues included in fees and other income on the consolidated statement of operations are $81.4 million and $208.8 million for Global Housing and $614.6 million and $471.2 million for Global Lifestyle for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Global Housing In the Company’s Global Housing segment, revenues from service contracts and sales of products are primarily from the Company’s Lender-placed Insurance business. Under the Company’s Lender-placed Insurance business, the Company provides loan and claim payment tracking services for lenders. Until the sale of the Mortgage Solutions business on August 1, 2018, the Company previously offered valuation and title services and products across the origination, home equity and default markets, as well as field services, inspection services, restoration and real estate owned asset management services to mortgage servicing clients and investors. The Company generally invoices its customers weekly or monthly based on the volume of services provided during the billing period with payment due within a short-term period. Each service is an individual performance obligation with a standalone selling price. The Company recognizes revenue as it invoices, which corresponds to the value transferred to the customer.

Amount includes unrealized gains and losses on impaired securities relating to changes in the value of such securities subsequent to the impairment measurement date. The Company’s state, municipality and political subdivision holdings are highly diversified across the U.S., with no individual state, municipality or political subdivision exposure (including both general obligation and revenue securities) exceeding 0.3% and 0.4% of the overall investment portfolio as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the securities included general obligation and revenue bonds issued by states, cities, counties, school districts and similar issuers, including $59.2 million and $58.4 million , respectively, of advance refunded or escrowed-to-maturity bonds (collectively referred to as “pre-refunded bonds”), which are bonds for which an irrevocable trust has been established to fund the remaining payments of principal and interest. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, revenue bonds accounted for 56% of the holdings. Excluding pre-refunded bonds, the activities supporting the income streams of the Company’s revenue bonds are across a broad range of sectors, primarily water, airport and marina, specifically pledged tax revenues, leases and other miscellaneous sources such as bond banks, finance authorities and appropriations. The Company’s investments in foreign government fixed maturity securities are held mainly in countries and currencies where the Company has policyholder liabilities, to facilitate matching of assets to the related liabilities. As of September 30, 2019, approximately 58% , 18% and 6% of the foreign government securities were held in Canadian government/provincials and the governments of Brazil and Mexico, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, approximately 55% , 18% and 8% of the foreign government securities were held in Canadian government/provincials and the governments of Brazil and the United Kingdom, respectively. No other country represented more than 5% and 6% of the Company’s foreign government securities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company had European investment exposure in its corporate fixed maturity securities of $804.7 million with a net unrealized gain of $82.8 million as of September 30, 2019 and $800.9 million with a net unrealized gain of $27.7 million as of December 31, 2018. Approximately 27% of the corporate fixed maturity European exposure was held in the financial industry as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The Company’s largest European country exposure (the United Kingdom) represented approximately 4% and 5% of the fair value of the Company’s corporate fixed maturity securities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company’s international investments are managed as part of the overall portfolio with the same approach to risk management and focus on diversification. The cost or amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities as of September 30, 2019 by contractual maturity are shown below.

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities	Variable Interest Entities In the normal course of business, the Company is involved with various types of investment entities that may be considered VIEs. The Company evaluates its involvement with each entity to determine whether consolidation is required. The Company’s maximum risk of loss is limited to the carrying value and unfunded commitments of its investments in the VIEs. Consolidated VIEs One of the Company’s subsidiaries is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as an investment adviser. The subsidiary (or one of its affiliates) manages and invests in CLOs and real estate funds and may conduct other forms of investment activities. The Company has determined that the CLOs and real estate funds are VIEs and consolidated each because the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these entities due to (i) its role a s collateral manager, which gives it the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the e ntities, and (ii) its economic interest in the entities, which exposes it to losses and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entities. In connection with the formation of CLO structures, the Company forms special purpose entities capitalized by contributions from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. Subsequent to capitalization, the special purpose entities purchase senior secured leveraged loans funded by contributions from the Company and a short-term warehousing credit facility. Borrowings from the warehousing credit facility are non-recourse to the Company and are fully repaid once the CLO closes. Additionally, the amounts contributed by the Company to fund the initial capitalization are returned after the CLO closes. The Company may elect to use the return of capital to purchase a direct investment in the CLO. Collateralized Loan Obligations: The CLO entities are collateralized financing entities. The carrying value of the CLO debt equals the fair value of the CLO assets (senior secured leveraged loans) as the assets have more observable fair values. The CLO liabilities are reduced by the beneficial interests the Company retains in the CLO. CLO earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders are measured by the change in the fair value of the Company’s CLO investments, net investment income earned and investment management and contingent performance fees earned. Investment management fees are reported as a reduction to investment expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The assets of the CLOs are legally isolated from the Company’s creditors and can only be used to settle the obligations of the CLOs. The liabilities of the CLOs are non-recourse to the Company and the Company has no obligations to satisfy the liabilities of the CLOs. As of September 30, 2019, the Company and its subsidiaries held a range of 43.8% to 100.0% of the most subordinated debt tranches of four CLO entities and 5.0% of senior debt tranches in one CLO entity, which represents a range of 6.0% to 8.8% overall ownership in each of the CLO entities. As of September 30, 2019, a fifth CLO structure was funded with $123.0 million in contributions from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the CLOs that have closed was $84.9 million and $55.2 million in subordinated debt tranches and $21.1 million and $21.0 million in senior debt tranches as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Real Estate Funds: The Company’s real estate fund investments are closed ended funds that include contributions from third party investors, which are recorded as non-controlling interests. Real estate fund earnings attributable to the Company’s shareholders are measured by the net investment income of the real estate funds, which includes the change in fair value of the Company’s investments in the real estate funds and investment management fees earned. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company formed a second real estate fund capitalized with $15.4 million of contributions from the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company has a majority investment in the real estate funds in the form of equity interests. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the real estate funds was $117.0 million and $91.5 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The Company’s unfunded commitment in the real estate funds was $3.5 million as of September 30, 2019. For all consolidated investment entities, intercompany transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Fair Value of VIE Assets and Liabilities The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. See Note 10 for the definition of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for financial assets and liabilities held by consolidated investment entities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated: September 30, 2019 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial Assets Investments: Cash and cash equivalents $ 64.3 $ 64.3 (1) $ — $ — Corporate debt securities 1,857.3 — 1,857.3 — Real estate funds 139.1 — — 139.1 Total financial assets $ 2,060.7 $ 64.3 $ 1,857.3 $ 139.1 Financial Liabilities Collateralized loan obligation notes $ 1,610.3 $ — $ 1,610.3 $ — Total financial liabilities $ 1,610.3 $ — $ 1,610.3 $ — December 31, 2018 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial Assets Investments: Cash and cash equivalents $ 62.6 $ 62.6 (1) $ — $ — Corporate debt securities 1,464.2 — 1,464.2 — Real estate funds 112.0 — — 112.0 Total financial assets $ 1,638.8 $ 62.6 $ 1,464.2 $ 112.0 Financial Liabilities Collateralized loan obligation notes $ 1,316.7 $ — $ 1,316.7 $ — Total financial liabilities $ 1,316.7 $ — $ 1,316.7 $ — (1) Amounts consist of money market funds. Level 2 Securities Corporate debt securities: These assets are comprised of senior secured leveraged loans. The Company values these securities using estimates of fair value from a pricing service which utilizes the market valuation technique. The primary observable market inputs used by the pricing service are prices of reported trades from dealers. The fair value is calculated using a simple average of the prices received. Collateralized loan obligation notes: As the Company elected the measurement alternative, the carrying value of the CLO debt is equal to the fair value of the CLO assets. The CLO notes are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, consistent with the classification of the majority of the CLO financial assets. Level 3 Securities Real estate funds: These assets are comprised of investments in limited partnerships whose underlying investments are real estate properties. The market, income and cost approach valuation techniques are used to calculate fair value as appropriate given the type of real estate property, as well as the use of independent external appraisals. Significant unobservable inputs, including capitalization rates, discount rates, market comparables, expense growth rates, leasing assumptions and replacement costs, are used as appropriate to calculate fair value. The following table summarizes the change in balance sheet carrying value associated with Level 3 assets held by consolidated investment entities measured at fair value during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Balance, beginning of period $ 138.2 $ 102.5 $ 112.0 $ 84.7 Purchases — — 15.4 23.0 Sales (5.6 ) — (5.6 ) (6.8 ) Total income (loss) included in retained earnings 6.5 (0.4 ) 17.3 1.2 Balance, end of period $ 139.1 $ 102.1 $ 139.1 $ 102.1

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Disclosures	Fair Value Disclosures Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities Disclosures The fair value measurements and disclosures guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In accordance with this guidance, the Company has categorized its recurring fair value basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and takes into account factors specific to the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: • Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access. • Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace for the asset or liability. The observable inputs are used in valuation models to calculate the fair value for the asset or liability. • Level 3 inputs are unobservable but are significant to the fair value measurement for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company reviews fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. In such instances, the transfer between levels is reported as of the beginning of the reporting period. The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The amounts presented below for short-term investments, other investments, cash equivalents, other receivables, other assets, assets held in and liabilities related to separate accounts and other liabilities differ from the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets because only certain investments or certain assets and liabilities within these line items are measured at estimated fair value. Other investments are comprised of investments in the Assurant Investment Plan (“AIP”), the American Security Insurance Company Investment Plan, the Assurant Deferred Compensation Plan, a modified coinsurance arrangement and other derivatives. Other liabilities are comprised of investments in the AIP, contingent consideration related to business combinations and other derivatives. The fair value amount and the majority of the associated levels presented for other investments and assets and liabilities held in separate accounts are received directly from third parties.

Reinsurance Recoverables Credit Disclosures A key credit quality indicator for reinsurance is the A.M. Best Company (“A.M. Best”) financial strength rating of the reinsurer. The A.M. Best ratings are an independent opinion of a reinsurer’s ability to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders. The A.M. Best ratings for new reinsurance agreements where there is material credit exposure are reviewed at the time of execution. The A.M. Best ratings for existing reinsurance agreements are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or sooner based on developments. The A.M. Best ratings for the Company’s four largest reinsurers associated with previously disposed businesses (consisting of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada, John Hancock Life Insurance Company, Talcott Resolution Life and Annuity Insurance Company and Employers Reassurance Corporation (“ERAC”)) have not changed significantly since December 31, 2018, except for ERAC which was affirmed as B+ with a stable outlook and subsequently withdrawn at the request of ERAC in March 2019. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had $776.3 million and $775.9 million , respectively, of reinsurance recoverables from ERAC. An allowance for doubtful accounts for reinsurance recoverables is recorded on the basis of periodic evaluations of balances due from reinsurers (net of collateral), reinsurer solvency, management’s experience and current economic conditions. The Company carried an allowance for doubtful accounts for reinsurance recoverables of $0.3 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Insurance Loss Reserves [Abstract]
Reserves	Reserves Reserve Roll Forward The following table provides a roll forward of the Company’s beginning and ending claims and benefits payable balances. Claims and benefits payable is the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and is comprised of case and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves. Since unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses are estimates, the Company’s actual losses incurred may be more or less than the Company’s previously developed estimates, which is referred to as either unfavorable or favorable development, respectively. The best estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense is generally selected from a blend of methods that are applied consistently each period. There have been no significant changes in the methodologies and assumptions utilized in estimating the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses for any of the periods presented. For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 Claims and benefits payable, at beginning of period $ 2,813.7 $ 3,782.2 Less: Reinsurance ceded and other (2,053.7 ) (3,193.3 ) Net claims and benefits payable, at beginning of period 760.0 588.9 Acquired reserves as of Acquisition Date (1) — 140.7 Incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses related to: Current year 2,034.2 1,602.8 Prior years (27.3 ) (12.1 ) Total incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses 2,006.9 1,590.7 Paid losses and loss adjustment expenses related to: Current year 1,468.4 1,168.8 Prior years 470.4 398.6 Total paid losses and loss adjustment expenses 1,938.8 1,567.4 Net claims and benefits payable, at end of period 828.1 752.9 Plus: Reinsurance ceded and other (2) 2,043.0 3,011.8 Claims and benefits payable, at end of period (2) (3) $ 2,871.1 $ 3,764.7 (1) Acquired reserves from TWG on the Acquisition Date include $419.9 million of gross claims and benefits payable, and $279.2 million of ceded claims and benefits payable. The reserve roll forward includes the activity of TWG for the relevant periods since the Acquisition Date. (2) Includes reinsurance recoverables and claims and benefits payable of $191.7 million and $265.9 million as of September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which was ceded to the U.S. government. The Company acts as an administrator for the U.S. government under the voluntary National Flood Insurance Program. (3) Claims and benefits payable and related reinsurance ceded were reduced by $730.0 million in December 2018 as result of the sale of Time Insurance Company, a legal entity associated with the previously exited Assurant Health business. The Company experienced favorable development in both nine month periods presented in the roll forward table above. Global Lifestyle contributed $28.5 million and $15.9 million to the net favorable development for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The net favorable development in 2019 was primarily attributable to mobile device protection products and business acquired from TWG, where losses from more recent accident years were favorable to expectations. The net favorable development in 2018 was primarily attributable to lower than expected losses from extended service contracts and mobile device protection products. Many of these contracts and products contain retrospective commission (profit sharing) provisions that would result in offsetting increases or decreases in expense dependent on if the development was favorable or unfavorable. Global Housing contributed $7.5 million and $11.4 million of net unfavorable development for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The net unfavorable development in 2019 was primarily attributable to $4.5 million in net unfavorable development from prior catastrophes, due to rising severity trends from Hurricane Maria and Michael, partially offset by increased subrogation recoveries associated with the 2017 and 2018 California wildfires. The net unfavorable development in 2018 was attributable to prior catastrophes of $13.3 million driven by Hurricane Maria. Global Preneed, Assurant Health and other contributed $6.3 million and $7.6 million

(2) Bears a 7.00% annual interest rate from March 2018 to March 2028 and annual interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 4.135% thereafter. 2030 Senior Notes: In August 2019, the Company issued senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million which bear interest at a rate of 3.70% per year, mature in February 2030 and were issued at a 0.035% discount to the public (the “2030 Senior Notes”). Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears beginning in February 2020. Prior to November 2029, the Company may redeem the 2030 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after that date, the Company may redeem the 2030 Senior Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. The interest rate payable on the 2030 Senior Notes will be subject to adjustment from time to time, if either Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc. (“S&P”) downgrades the credit rating assigned to such series of senior notes to Ba1 or below or to BB+ or below, respectively, or subsequently upgrades the credit ratings once the senior notes are at or below such levels. The following table details the increase in interest rate over the issuance rate by rating with the impact equal to the sum of the number of basis points next to such rating for a maximum increase of 200 basis points over the issuance rate: Rating Agencies Rating Levels Moody’s (1) S&P (1) Interest Rate Increase (2) 1 Ba1 BB+ 25 basis points 2 Ba2 BB 50 basis points 3 Ba3 BB- 75 basis points 4 B1 or below B+ or below 100 basis points (1) Including the equivalent ratings of any substitute rating agency. (2) Applies to each rating agency individually. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to purchase $100.0 million of its 6.75% senior notes due 2034 in a cash tender offer, to redeem $250.0 million of its floating rate senior notes due 2021 (the “2021 Senior Notes”) and to pay related premiums, fees and expenses. In connection with the tender offer, the Company recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $31.4 million , primarily related to incremental consideration required to be paid to debtholders as a result of the interest rate differential over the remaining term as compared to current rates. Additionally, the Company recognized a $2.6 million loss from the settlement of the three-year interest rate swap that hedged interest rate exposure on the portion of the 2021 Senior Notes that were redeemed in September 2019. The $2.6 million loss was reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and recorded through interest expense. In connection with the issuance of the 2030 Senior Notes, the Company recognized $3.0 million of interest expense related to premiums paid for a series of derivative transactions that were entered into in July 2019 to hedge the related interest rate risk. Credit Facility The Company has a senior unsecured $450.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks arranged by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The Credit Facility provides for revolving loans and the issuance of multi-bank, syndicated letters of credit and letters of credit from a sole issuing bank in an aggregate amount of $450.0 million , which may be increased up to $575.0 million . The Credit Facility is available until December 2022, provided the Company is in compliance with all covenants. The Credit Facility has a sub-limit for letters of credit issued thereunder of $50.0 million . The proceeds from these loans may be used for our commercial paper program or for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2019, no borrowings have been made under the Credit facility, $441.0 million was available under the Credit Facility and $9.0 million letters of credit were outstanding. Interest Rate Derivatives In March 2018, the Company exercised a series of derivative transactions it had entered into in 2017 to hedge the interest rate risk related to expected borrowing to finance the TWG acquisition. The Company determined that the derivatives qualified for hedge accounting as effective cash flow hedges and recognized a deferred gain of $26.7 million upon settlement that was reported through other comprehensive income. The deferred gain is being recognized as a reduction in interest expense related to the 4.20% senior notes due 2023, the 4.90% senior notes due 2028 and the 7.00% fixed-to-floating rate subordinated notes on an effective yield basis. The amortization of the deferred gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $0.6 million and $2.1 million , respectively. The amortization of the deferred gain for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $0.7 million and $1.6 million . The remaining deferred gain as of September 30, 2019 was $22.4 million . Additionally, the Company expensed $8.6 million

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Common Share	Earnings Per Common Share The following table presents net income, the weighted average common shares used in calculating basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) and those used in calculating diluted EPS for each period presented below. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental common shares from: (1) common shares issuable upon vesting of PSUs and ESPP using the treasury stock method; and (2) common shares issuable upon conversion of the MCPS using the if-converted method. The outstanding RSUs have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and are therefore included in calculating basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.

Defined Benefit Plan [Abstract]
Retirement and Other Employee Benefits	Retirement and Other Employee Benefits The Company and its subsidiaries participate in a non-contributory, qualified defined benefit pension plan (“Assurant Pension Plan”) covering substantially all employees. The Company also has various non-contributory, non-qualified supplemental plans covering certain employees including the Assurant Executive Pension Plan and the Assurant Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. The qualified and non-qualified plans are referred to as “Pension Benefits” unless otherwise noted. In addition, the Company provides certain life and health care benefits (“Retirement Health Benefits”) for retired employees and their dependents. The Pension Benefits and Retirement Health Benefits (together, the “Plans”) were frozen on March 1, 2016. The following tables present the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018: Qualified Pension Benefits Unfunded Non-qualified Pension Benefits Retirement Health Benefits For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 Interest cost $ 6.2 $ 5.9 $ 0.8 $ 0.7 $ 0.6 $ 0.8 Expected return on plan assets (8.7 ) (9.0 ) — — (0.5 ) (0.5 ) Amortization of net loss (gain) — 0.3 0.2 0.4 (0.6 ) — Settlement loss — — — 0.4 — — Net periodic benefit cost $ (2.5 ) $ (2.8 ) $ 1.0 $ 1.5 $ (0.5 ) $ 0.3 Qualified Pension Benefits Unfunded Nonqualified Pension Benefits Retirement Health Benefits For the Nine Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 2019 2018 Interest cost $ 19.3 $ 17.5 $ 2.2 $ 2.1 $ 2.4 $ 2.5 Expected return on plan assets (26.7 ) (27.2 ) — — (1.4 ) (1.6 ) Amortization of net loss (gain) — 0.7 0.8 1.2 (0.6 ) — Settlement loss — — — 0.4 — — Net periodic benefit cost $ (7.4 ) $ (9.0 ) $ 3.0 $ 3.7 $ 0.4 $ 0.9 The Assurant Pension Plan funded status was $70.3 million at September 30, 2019 and $65.1 million at December 31, 2018 (based on the fair value of the assets compared to the accumulated benefit obligation). This equates to a 109% and 110% funded status at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. During the first nine months of 2019, no cash was contributed to the Assurant Pension Plan. Due to the Assurant Pension Plan’s current funded status, no

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Letters of Credit In the normal course of business, letters of credit are issued primarily to support reinsurance arrangements in which the Company is the reinsurer. These letters of credit are supported by commitments under which the Company is required to indemnify the financial institution issuing the letter of credit if the letter of credit is drawn. The Company had $12.1 million and $13.2 million of letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Legal and Regulatory Matters The Company is involved in a variety of litigation and legal and regulatory proceedings relating to its current and past business operations and, from time to time, it may become involved in other such actions. In particular, the Company is a defendant in class actions in a number of jurisdictions regarding its Lender-placed Insurance programs. These cases assert a variety of claims under a number of legal theories. The plaintiffs typically seek premium refunds and other relief. The Company continues to defend itself vigorously in these class actions. The Company has participated and may participate in settlements on terms that the Company considers reasonable. The Company has established an accrued liability for certain legal and regulatory proceedings. The possible loss or range of loss resulting from such litigation and regulatory proceedings, if any, in excess of the amounts accrued is inherently unpredictable and uncertain. Consequently, no estimate can be made of any possible loss or range of loss in excess of the

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The interim financial data as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is unaudited. In the opinion of management, the interim data includes all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted Lease accounting: On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease guidance on a modified retrospective basis and therefore did not restate comparative periods. The new guidance requires that entities recognize assets and liabilities associated with leases on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The Company and its subsidiaries lease office space and equipment under operating lease arrangements for which the Company is the lessee. Therefore, the primary change at the time of adoption involved the recognition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to operating leases with terms in excess of 12 months in which the Company is the lessee. Upon adoption, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed the carryforward of 1) historical lease classifications, 2) the prior assessment of whether a contract is or contains a lease, and 3) initial direct costs for any leases that existed prior to adoption. As of January 1, 2019, the new lease liability and right-of-use asset was $85.3 million and $78.0 million , respectively. Deferred rent liability of $7.3 million , which was required under the previous guidance, was reversed. There was an immaterial impact on equity upon adoption. As of September 30, 2019, the lease liability and right-of-use asset was $83.0 million and $75.8 million , respectively. These balances are included in accounts payable and other liabilities and other assets, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the operating lease cost recognized for leases with terms in excess of 12 months was $5.3 million and $16.7 million , respectively, and related cash outflows reducing the lease liability was $5.2 million and $15.8 million , respectively. At September 30, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate was 6.6 years and 4.5% , respectively. Not Yet Adopted Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments held at amortized cost (“CECL”) : In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, the amended guidance eliminates the probable recognition threshold and instead requires an entity to reflect the current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses will be measured in a manner similar to current accounting requirements; however, the amended guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company expects to adopt the amended guidance on its effective date of January 1, 2020. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this amended guidance and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. While the Company expects an increase in its allowances for credit losses related to financial assets within scope of the standard, principally reinsurance receivables and commercial mortgage loans on real estate, the amount of the allowance will be dependent on the asset composition and economic conditions at that time of adoption. Financial Instruments — Credit Losses: Targeted Transition Relief: In May 2019, the FASB issued guidance which provides transition relief for entities adopting CECL. The transition relief will allow companies to irrevocably elect, upon adoption of CECL, the fair value option on financial instruments that were previously measured at amortized cost basis. Entities are required to make this election on an instrument-by-instrument basis. The effective date of the guidance will be the same as the effective date for CECL. An entity may early adopt the guidance in any interim period after its issuance if the entity has adopted CECL. The transition amendments should be applied on a modified-retrospective basis by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings balance in the statement of financial position as of the date that an entity adopted the amendments in CECL. The Company is evaluating the cost and benefit of the transition relief from this guidance in its overall adoption of the guidance under CECL and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract : In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance aligning the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. For these arrangements, the guidance also limits the period to expense capitalized implementation costs based on the term of the hosting agreement, including the noncancellable period of the arrangement plus periods covered by options to extend the arrangement that are reasonably certain of exercise. The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by the amendments. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The guidance is required to be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts : In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that provides targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts. The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting benefit reserves will no longer be locked-in but must be updated at least annually with the impact of changes to the liability reflected in earnings (except for discount rates); the discount rate assumptions will be based on an upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield instead of the earnings rate of invested assets; the discount rate must be evaluated at each reporting date and the impact of changes to the liability estimate as a result of updating the discount rate assumption is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income; the provision for adverse deviation is eliminated; and premium deficiency testing is eliminated. Other noteworthy changes include the following: differing models for amortizing deferred acquisition costs will become uniform for all long-duration contracts based on a constant rate over the expected term of the related in-force contracts; all market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be reported at fair value with changes reflected in income except for changes related to credit risk which will be recognized in other comprehensive income; and disclosures will be expanded to include disaggregated roll forwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement. As the FASB has approved a one-year delay in October 2019 for public business entities, the guidance is now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the amendments are applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented with two transition options available for changing the assumptions.

Insurance Loss Reserves [Abstract]
Roll Forward of Claims and Benefits Payable	The following table provides a roll forward of the Company’s beginning and ending claims and benefits payable balances. Claims and benefits payable is the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and is comprised of case and incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) reserves. Since unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses are estimates, the Company’s actual losses incurred may be more or less than the Company’s previously developed estimates, which is referred to as either unfavorable or favorable development, respectively. The best estimate of ultimate loss and loss adjustment expense is generally selected from a blend of methods that are applied consistently each period. There have been no significant changes in the methodologies and assumptions utilized in estimating the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses for any of the periods presented. For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 Claims and benefits payable, at beginning of period $ 2,813.7 $ 3,782.2 Less: Reinsurance ceded and other (2,053.7 ) (3,193.3 ) Net claims and benefits payable, at beginning of period 760.0 588.9 Acquired reserves as of Acquisition Date (1) — 140.7 Incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses related to: Current year 2,034.2 1,602.8 Prior years (27.3 ) (12.1 ) Total incurred losses and loss adjustment expenses 2,006.9 1,590.7 Paid losses and loss adjustment expenses related to: Current year 1,468.4 1,168.8 Prior years 470.4 398.6 Total paid losses and loss adjustment expenses 1,938.8 1,567.4 Net claims and benefits payable, at end of period 828.1 752.9 Plus: Reinsurance ceded and other (2) 2,043.0 3,011.8 Claims and benefits payable, at end of period (2) (3) $ 2,871.1 $ 3,764.7 (1) Acquired reserves from TWG on the Acquisition Date include $419.9 million of gross claims and benefits payable, and $279.2 million of ceded claims and benefits payable.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Net Income, Weighted Average Common Shares Used in Calculating Basic Earnings Per Common Share and Diluted EPS	The following table presents net income, the weighted average common shares used in calculating basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) and those used in calculating diluted EPS for each period presented below. Diluted EPS reflects the incremental common shares from: (1) common shares issuable upon vesting of PSUs and ESPP using the treasury stock method; and (2) common shares issuable upon conversion of the MCPS using the if-converted method. The outstanding RSUs have non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and are therefore included in calculating basic and diluted EPS under the two-class method.
