Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Nature of Business | Note 1: Nature of Business MEMBERS Life Insurance Company (“MEMBERS Life” or the “Company” or “MLIC”) is a stock life and health insurance company organized under the laws of Iowa and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CUNA Mutual Investment Corporation (“CMIC”). CMIC is organized under the laws of Wisconsin and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMFG Life Insurance Company (“CMFG Life”), an Iowa life insurance company. CMFG Life and its affiliated companies primarily sell insurance and other products to credit unions and their members. The Company’s ultimate parent is CUNA Mutual Holding Company (“CMHC”), a mutual insurance holding company organized under the laws of Iowa. The Company began selling a single premium deferred index annuity contracts in 2013, a flexible premium deferred variable and index linked annuity contracts in 2016, and a single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity in 2019. All products are sold to consumers, including credit union members, through the face-to-face distribution channel. The Company has reinsurance agreements with CMFG Life under which it cedes 100% of its business to CMFG Life. See Note 7, Reinsurance, for information on the Company’s reinsurance agreements. Prior to 2013, the Company did not actively market new business; it primarily serviced existing blocks of individual and group life policies. The Company is authorized to sell life, health and annuity policies in all states in the U.S. and the District of Columbia, except New York. The following table identifies states with premiums greater than 5% of total direct premium and states with deposits on annuity contracts greater than 5% of total deposits: Deposits on Direct Premium Annuity Contracts 2020 2019 2018 2020 2019 2018 0 Michigan 61 % 60 % 62 % 5 % 6 % 7 % Texas 24 25 24 6 5 * California 5 5 5 5 * * Pennsylvania * * * 7 7 8 Wisconsin * * * 6 6 5 North Carolina * * * 5 * * Florida * * * 5 5 6 Indiana * * * 5 * 5 Iowa * * * * 5 6 *Less than 5% No other state represents more than 5% of the Company’s premiums or deposits for any year in the three years ended December 31, 2020. The accompanying statutory basis financial statements reflect various transactions and balances with the Company’s affiliates. See Note 6 for a description of the more significant transactions. While the Company believes that these transactions were at reasonable terms, the results of operations of the Company may have differed had these transactions been consummated with unrelated parties. In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic, which continues to spread throughout the U.S. COVID-19 is having an unprecedented impact on the U.S economy as federal, state, and local governments react to this public health crisis. The impacts of the current COVID-19 pandemic are broad reaching, and the impacts on the Company’s financial statements to date have not been estimated. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, there is uncertainty surrounding the potential impact on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations and related cash flows. Continued impacts of the pandemic could materially adversely affect the Company’s near-term and long-term premium revenues, policyholder benefits, earnings, liquidity, and cash flows. These potential impacts will largely depend on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration and severity of the pandemic, government actions, and the length of time until the economy recovers. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying statutory basis financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division (“Insurance Department”), which differ in some respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Prescribed statutory accounting practices are practices incorporated directly or by reference in state laws, regulations and general administrative rules and are applicable to all insurance enterprises domiciled in a particular state. The Insurance Department has identified the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“APPM”), as promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), as a source of prescribed statutory accounting practices for insurers domiciled in Iowa. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not prescribed by the NAIC and are approved by the insurance department of the insurer’s state of domicile. The Company does not utilize any permitted practices. GAAP/Statutory Accounting Differences The following summary identifies the significant differences between the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department and GAAP: “Nonadmitted assets” (principally a portion of deferred taxes, the interest maintenance reserve and items not allocated) are excluded from the statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus through a direct charge to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, nonadmitted assets are presented in the balance sheet, net of any valuation allowance. Investments in bonds and notes are generally carried at amortized cost, while under GAAP, they are carried at either amortized cost or fair value based on their classification according to the Company’s ability and intent to hold or trade the securities. For statutory accounting, after an other-than-temporary impairment of bonds, other than loan-backed securities, is recorded, the fair value of the other-than-temporarily impaired bond becomes its new cost basis. For GAAP, an impairment is based on the net present value of expected cash flows if the Company intends to hold the security until it has recovered, and an impairment is recorded as a valuation allowance. Policy reserves, which are 100% ceded to CMFG Life, are established based on mortality and interest assumptions prescribed or permitted by state statutes, without consideration for withdrawals, which may differ from reserves established for GAAP using assumptions with respect to mortality, interest, expense, and withdrawals that are based on company experience and expectations. Under both GAAP and statutory accounting, deferred federal income taxes are provided for unrealized capital gains or losses on investments and the temporary differences between the reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities; however, there are limits as to the amount of deferred tax assets that may be reported as admitted assets under statutory accounting. Further, the change in deferred taxes is recognized as an adjustment to unassigned surplus under statutory accounting. For GAAP, changes in deferred taxes related to revenue and expense items are recorded in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. A federal income tax provision is required on a current basis only for the statutory basis statements of operations. The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”), a statutory only reserve established by formula for the purpose of stabilizing the surplus of the Company against fluctuations in the fair value of certain invested assets, is recorded as a liability by a direct charge to unassigned surplus for statutory reporting. Such a reserve is not recorded under GAAP. For statutory reporting, the interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) defers recognition of interest rate-related gains and losses resulting from the disposal of investment securities and amortizes them into income over the remaining contractual maturities of those securities; under GAAP, such gains and losses are recognized in income immediately. Amounts due from reinsurers for their share of ceded reserves are netted against the reserves rather than shown as assets as under GAAP. Deposits, surrenders, and benefits on certain annuities, including those recorded in the separate accounts, are recorded in the statutory basis statements of operations, while such deposits and benefits are credited or charged directly to the policyholder account balances under GAAP. As a result, under GAAP, revenues on these types of contracts are composed of contract charges and fees, which are recognized when assessed against the account balance. Under GAAP, amounts collected are credited directly to policyholder account balances, and the benefits and claims on these contracts that are charged to expense only include benefits incurred in the period in excess of related policyholder account balances. Single premium deferred index annuities, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuities and flexible premium variable and index linked deferred annuities are reported as a separate account product for statutory reporting. For GAAP, only the variable annuity component of the flexible premium variable and index linked deferred annuity is reported as a separate account product, with the other related assets and liabilities reported in the general account because criteria for separate account reporting are not met. The criteria are that funds must be invested at the direction of the contract holder and investment results must be passed through to the contract holder. Comprehensive income and its components are not presented in the statutory basis financial statements, whereas under GAAP, comprehensive income is presented and changes in comprehensive income are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholder’s equity. The statutory basis statements of cash flows are presented in the required statutory format. Under GAAP, the indirect method for the statements of cash flows requires a reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operating activities. Use of Estimates The preparation of the statutory basis financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statutory basis financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and, in some cases, the difference could be material. Investment valuations, policy reserve valuations, determination of other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”), deferred tax asset valuation reserves and reinsurance balances are most affected by the use of estimates and assumptions. Investments Investments are valued as prescribed by the NAIC. Bonds and notes: Net investment income: Net realized capital (losses): Net unrealized capital gains Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes unrestricted deposits in financial institutions. Cash equivalents include money market mutual funds and investments with maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less and are reported at carrying value, which approximates amortized cost. Money market mutual funds are valued based on the closing price as of December 31. Income Tax Deferred income taxes are recognized, subject to an admissibility test for deferred tax assets, and represent the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the statutory basis financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a statutory valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. See Note 5 for the components of the admissibility test used to calculate the admitted deferred tax assets. Recorded deferred tax amounts are adjusted to reflect changes in income tax rates and other tax law provisions as they are enacted. The net change in deferred taxes is recorded directly to unassigned surplus. The Company is subject to tax-related audits. The Company accounts for any federal and foreign tax contingent liabilities in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets as modified by SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes, and any state and other tax contingent liabilities in accordance with SSAP No. 5R. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted by the U.S. federal government on March 27, 2020. The income tax provisions of the CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s statutory basis financial statements. Reinsurance Reinsurance premiums, claims and benefits, commission expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business ceded are accounted for on a basis consistent with the accounting for the underlying direct policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as reductions of premium income and benefits in the accompanying statutory basis statements of operations. Policy and claim reserves are reported net of unbilled reinsurance recoverables. The Company has evaluated its reinsurance contracts and determined that all significant contracts transfer the underlying economic risk of loss. Since CMFG Life is the only reinsurer, there is no concern of default on reinsurance receivable balances. Separate Accounts The Company issues single premium deferred index annuities, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuities and flexible premium variable and index linked deferred annuities, the assets and liabilities of which are legally segregated and reflected in the accompanying statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus as assets and liabilities of the separate accounts. All separate account assets and liabilities are ceded to CMFG Life on a coinsurance basis except the variable annuity of the flexible premium variable and index linked deferred annuities that are ceded on a modified coinsurance basis and the related assets and liabilities are retained in the Company’s separate account. Separate account assets for the variable annuity component of the flexible premium variable and index linked deferred and single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity are stated at fair value. Separate account liabilities are accounted for in a manner similar to other policy reserves. Separate account premium deposits, benefit expenses and contract fee income for investment management and policy administration are reflected by the Company in the accompanying statutory basis statements of operations. The variable annuity contract holders of the flexible premium variable and index linked deferred and the single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity are able to invest in investment funds managed for their benefit. All of the flexible premium variable separate account assets are invested in unit investment trusts that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. CMFG Life, on behalf of MLIC, invests the single premium deferred index annuity, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity and flexible premium deferred variable premiums for the benefit of the contract holder. The single premium deferred index, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index and flexible premium variable and index linked deferred annuities have two risk control accounts, referred to as the Secure and Growth Accounts; the Secure Account has a yearly credited interest rate floor of 0% and the yearly Growth Account floor is -10%. The Secure and Growth Accounts both have credited interest rate caps that vary with issuance. Interest is credited at the end of each contract year during the selected index term based on the allocation between risk control accounts and the performance of an external index during that contract year. At the end of the initial index term only the Secure Account will be available as an option to the policyholder. Policy and Contract Claim Reserves Liabilities established for unpaid benefits for life insurance contracts represent the estimated amounts required to cover the ultimate cost of settling reported and incurred but unreported losses. These estimates are adjusted in the aggregate for ultimate loss expectations based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends. Any change in the probable ultimate liabilities, which might arise from new information emerging, is reflected in the statutory basis statements of operations in the period the change is determined to be necessary. Such adjustments could be material. The policy and contract claim reserves are 100% ceded to CMFG Life. Policy Reserves Life insurance reserves The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns the portion of the final premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values are not promised in excess of legally computed reserves. Extra premiums are charged for substandard lives, plus the gross premium for a rated age. Mean reserves are determined by computing the regular mean reserve for the plan at the rated age and holding, plus one-half of the extra premium charge for the year. Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released, tabular cost and tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies have all been determined by formulas prescribed by the Insurance Department. Individual annuity reserves: The policy reserves are 100% ceded to CMFG Life. Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts The Company recognizes a liability for policyholder deposits that are not subject to policyholder mortality or longevity risk at the stated account value. The account value equals the sum of the original deposit plus accumulated interest, less any withdrawals and expense charges. Such deposits primarily represent annuity contracts without life contingencies. Statutory Valuation Reserves The IMR is maintained for the purpose of stabilizing the surplus of the Company against gains and losses on sales of investments that are primarily attributable to changing interest rates. The interest rate-related gains and losses are deferred and amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities sold. If the IMR is calculated to be a net asset, it is nonadmitted. The AVR is a formulaic reserve for fluctuations in the values of invested assets, primarily bonds and notes. Changes in the AVR are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. Other Liabilities The Company issues the single premium deferred index annuity contracts, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity contracts and flexible premium deferred variable and index linked annuity contracts on the 10th and 25th of each month. The Company recognizes a liability on contracts for which it has received cash, but has not issued a contract. Other liabilities primarily consist of these customer funds pending completion of the policy issuance process. The customer funds are released from other liabilities when the policy application is completed. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards The Company adopted revised statutory principles-based based reserve valuation standards effective January 1, 2020. For life insurance, the amendments affect new business only and therefore had no impact on existing policy reserves. Further, the Company does not currently issue new life insurance business which would be impacted by the new valuation standards. For the flexible premium deferred variable and index linked annuities and single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity, there was an immaterial impact from adoption on the direct reserves, which are 100% ceded to CMFG Life. |

Other-Than-Temporary Investment Impairments Investment securities are reviewed for OTTI on an ongoing basis. The Company creates a watchlist of securities based largely on the fair value of an investment security relative to its amortized cost. When the fair value drops below the Company’s amortized cost, the Company monitors the security for OTTI. The determination of OTTI requires significant judgment on the part of the Company and depends on several factors, including, but not limited to: ● The existence of any plans to sell the investment security. ● The extent to which fair value is less than statement value. ● The underlying reason for the decline in fair value (credit concerns, interest rates, etc.). ● The financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer/borrower, including the ability to meet contractual obligations, relevant industry trends and conditions and cash flow analysis. ● For mortgage-backed and structured securities, the Company’s intent and ability to retain its investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value. ● The Company’s ability to recover all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the agreements. ● The Company’s collateral position, in the case of bankruptcy or restructuring. A bond and note is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired when the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis and its value is not expected to recover through the Company’s holding period. When this occurs, the Company records a realized capital loss equal to the difference between the amortized cost and fair value. The fair value of the other-than-temporarily impaired security becomes its new cost basis. If the bond is a loan-backed or structured security, it is considered to be other-than-temporarily impaired when the amortized cost exceeds the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and its value is not expected to recover through the Company’s holding period. The amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in net income as a realized loss equals the difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its expected cash flows. In determining whether an unrealized loss is expected to be other-than-temporary, the Company considers, among other factors, any plans to sell the security, the severity of impairment, financial position of the issuer, recent events affecting the issuer’s business and industry sector, credit ratings, and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the investment until the fair value has recovered above its cost basis. Management believes it has made an appropriate provision for other-than-temporarily impaired securities owned at December 31, 2020 and 2019. As a result of the subjective nature of these estimates, however, additional provisions may subsequently be determined to be necessary, as new facts emerge and a greater understanding of economic trends develop. Additional OTTI will be recorded as appropriate and as determined by the Company’s regular monitoring procedures of additional facts. In light of the variables involved, such additional OTTI could be significant. The Company did not recognize any OTTI on mortgage-backed and structured securities during 2020, 2019 and 2018 caused by an intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold until recovery of the amortized cost basis. Net Unrealized Capital (Losses) Information regarding the Company’s bonds and notes with unrealized losses at December 31, 2020 is presented below, segregated between those that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months and those that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve or more months. Months in Unrealized Loss Position Less Than Twelve Total Twelve Months Months or Greater December 31, 2020 Fair Value Unrealized Loss Fair Value Unrealized Loss Fair Value Unrealized Loss Industrial and miscellaneous $ 1,004 $ (1 ) $ - $ - $ 1,004 $ (1 ) Non-mortgage asset-backed 990 (8 ) - - 990 (8 ) Total bonds and notes $ 1,994 $ (9 ) $ - $ - $ 1,994 $ (9 ) At December 31, 2020, the Company owned two securities with a fair value of $1,994 in an unrealized loss position. The Company owned one industrial and miscellaneous security with an unrealized loss of $1, and one non-mortgage asset-backed security with an unrealized loss of $8. The total fair value of securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2020 and which are rated “investment grade” based on having an NAIC rating of 1 or 2 is $1,994 or 100% of the total fair value of all securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2020. The Company had no securities in an unrealized loss position at December 31, 2019. Assets Designated/Securities on Deposit Iowa law requires that assets equal to a life insurer’s legal reserve must be designated for the Insurance Department for the protection of all policyholders. The legal reserve is equal to the net present value of all outstanding policies and contracts involving life contingencies. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, bonds and notes and cash with a statement value of $28,240 and $32,342, respectively, were accordingly designated for Iowa. Additionally, the Company designates assets for other regulatory jurisdictions who require cash and securities be deposited for the benefit of policyholders. Pursuant to these requirements, bonds and notes with a statement value of $2,119 and $2,120 were on deposit with other regulatory jurisdictions as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Investment Credit Risk The Company maintains a diversified investment portfolio including issuer, sector and geographic stratification, where applicable, and has established certain exposure limits, diversification standards, and review procedures to mitigate credit risk. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value | Note 4: Fair Value The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value of certain assets and liabilities and to estimate fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value but required to be disclosed at fair value. Certain financial instruments, such as insurance policy liabilities other than deposit-type contracts, are excluded from the fair value disclosure requirements. The Company uses fair value measurements obtained using observable inputs or internally determined estimates to estimate fair value. Valuation Hierarchy 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. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of assets and liabilities into three broad levels. The Company has categorized its financial instruments, based on the degree of subjectivity inherent in the valuation technique, as follows: ● Level 1: Inputs are directly observable and represent quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. ● Level 2: All significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability. This includes: (i) quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, (ii) quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the instruments and (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. ● Level 3: One or more significant inputs are unobservable and reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. For purposes of determining the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, observable inputs are those inputs used by market participants in valuing financial instruments, which are developed based on market data obtained from independent sources. In the absence of sufficient observable inputs, unobservable inputs, reflecting the Company’s estimates of the assumptions market participants would use in valuing financial assets and liabilities, are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date. In some instances, valuation inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The category level in the fair value hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The hierarchy requires the use of market observable information when available for measuring fair value. The availability of observable inputs varies by investment. In situations where the fair value is based on inputs that are unobservable in the market or on inputs from inactive markets, the determination of fair value requires more judgment and is subject to the risk of variability. The degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is typically greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. Transfers in and out of level categorizations are reported as having occurred at the end of the quarter in which the transfer occurred. Therefore, for all transfers into Level 3, all realized gains and losses and all changes in unrealized gains and losses in the fourth quarter are not reflected in the Level 3 rollforward table. Valuation Process The Company is responsible for the determination of fair value and the supporting assumptions and methodologies. The Company gains assurance on the overall reasonableness and consistent application of valuation methodologies and inputs and compliance with accounting standards through the execution of various processes and controls designed to provide assurance that assets and liabilities are appropriately valued. The Company has policies and guidelines that require the establishment of valuation methodologies and consistent application of such methodologies. These policies and guidelines govern the use of inputs and price source hierarchies and provide controls around the valuation processes. These controls include appropriate review and analysis of prices against market activity or indicators of reasonableness, approval of price source changes, price overrides, methodology changes and classification of fair value hierarchy levels. The valuation policies and guidelines are reviewed and updated as appropriate. For fair values received from third parties or internally estimated, the Company’s processes are designed to provide assurance that the valuation methodologies and inputs are appropriate and consistently applied, the assumptions are reasonable and consistent with the objective of determining fair value, and the fair values are appropriately recorded. The Company performs procedures to understand and assess the methodologies, process and controls of valuation service providers. In addition, the Company may validate the reasonableness of fair values by comparing information obtained from valuation service providers or brokers to other third-party valuation sources for selected securities. When using internal valuation models, these models are developed by the Company’s investment group using established methodologies. The models, including key assumptions, are reviewed with various investment sector professionals, accounting, operations, compliance, and risk management professionals. In addition, when fair value estimates involve a high degree of subjectivity, the Company validates them through reviews by members of management who have relevant expertise and who are independent of those charged with executing investment transactions. Transfers Between Levels There were no transfers between levels during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. Determination of Fair Values The following table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value as of December 31, 2020.

There are no known deferred tax liabilities not recognized. Gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a statutory valuation allowance adjustment if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Based on the Company’s assessment, no valuation allowance was required as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to the significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 are as follows: 2020 2019 Change Ordinary deferred tax assets: Life reserves method change $ 4 $ 7 $ (3 ) Investments 6 - 6 Deferred acquisition costs 807 479 328 Miscellaneous nonadmitted assets 223 384 (161 ) Other - accrued general expense 68 140 (72 ) Subtotal ordinary deferred tax assets 1,108 1,010 98 Nonadmitted ordinary deferred tax assets (656 ) - (656 ) Admitted ordinary deferred tax assets 452 1,010 (558 ) Admitted deferred tax assets 452 1,010 (558 ) Capital deferred tax liabilities: Investments (197 ) (340 ) 143 Subtotal capital deferred tax liabilities (197 ) (340 ) 143 Total deferred tax liabilities (197 ) (340 ) 143 Net admitted deferred tax asset $ 255 $ 670 $ (415 ) Deferred Tax Asset Admission Calculation The components of the deferred tax asset admission calculation at December 31 are as follows: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Change Ordinary Capital Total Ordinary Capital Total Ordinary Capital Total (a) Federal income taxes paid in prior years recoverable through loss carrybacks $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - $ - (b) Adjusted gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized after application of the threshold limitation; the lesser of (i) or (ii): 255 - 255 680 - 680 (425 ) - (425 ) (i) Adjusted gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized following the balance sheet date 255 - 255 680 - 680 (425 ) - (425 ) (ii) Adjusted gross deferred tax assets allowed per limitation threshold - - 6,067 - - 5,898 - - 169 (c) Adjusted gross deferred tax assets offset by gross deferred tax liabilities 197 - 197 330 - 330 (133 ) - (133 ) Admitted deferred tax assets $ 452 $ - $ 452 $ 1,010 $ - $ 1,010 $ (558 ) $ - $ (558 ) The amounts calculated in (b)(i) and (b)(ii) in the table above are based on the following information: 2020 2019 Ratio percentage used to determine recovery period and threshold limitation amount (RBC reporting entity) 10514 % 10916 % Recovery period used in (b)(i) 3 years 3 years Percentage of adjusted capital and surplus used in (b)(ii) 15 % 15 % Amount of adjusted capital and surplus used in (b)(ii) $ 40,444 $ 39,319 No tax planning strategies were used in the calculation of adjusted gross deferred tax assets or net admitted adjusted gross deferred tax assets during 2020 and 2019. Other Tax Items As of December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any federal capital loss, operating loss, or credit carryforwards. The Company has no taxes incurred in 2020, 2019, and 2018 that are available for recoupment in the event of future capital losses. The Company did not have any protective tax deposits under Section 6603 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company did not have any tax contingencies as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and has no tax loss contingencies for which it is reasonably possible that the total liability will significantly increase within twelve months of the reporting date. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to tax contingencies in income tax expense in the statutory basis statements of operations. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize any addition or reduction in interest and penalties. The Company had accrued $2 and $2 for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company is included in a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return filed by CMHC. The Company also files income tax returns in various states. The Company is subject to tax audits. These audits may result in additional tax liabilities. For the major jurisdictions where it operates, the Company is generally no longer subject to income tax examination by tax authorities for the years ended before 2014. Income tax liabilities have settled with the U.S. federal taxing authority (“IRS”) for tax year 2015, and the statute of limitations is closed. Amended refund claims filed for tax years 2010 and 2012 are currently under examination as part of the Joint Committee on Taxation approval process. |

Reinsurance Recoverables, Including Reinsurance Premium Paid [Abstract] | |
Reinsurance | Note 7: Reinsurance The Company entered into a coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreement with its affiliate, CMFG Life, to cede 100% of its life, accident and health, and annuity business. The Company entered into the coinsurance and modified coinsurance agreement for the purpose of limiting its exposure to loss on any one single insured, diversifying its risk and limiting its overall financial exposure, to certain products, and to meet its overall financial objectives. The Company retains the risk of loss in the event that CMFG Life is unable to meet the obligations assumed under the reinsurance agreements. The Company cedes 100% of its annuity business to its parent, CMFG Life, which is accounted for as reinsurance ceded under statutory accounting. These contracts are accounted for as investment-type contracts under GAAP; as such, deposits are not reported as revenues for GAAP. Consequently, deposit accounting is used to account for the reinsurance agreement for GAAP. The following table shows the effect of reinsurance on premiums, benefits, and surrenders, and increase in policy reserves for 2020, 2019, and 2018. 2020 2019 2018 Premiums earned: Direct $ 1,170,733 $ 995,842 $ 830,582 Ceded to affiliates (1,170,733 ) (995,842 ) (830,582 ) Premiums earned, net of reinsurance $ - $ - $ - Contract charges Direct (836 ) 1,865 2,106 Ceded to affiliates 836 (1,865 ) (2,106 ) Contract charges, net of reinsurance $ - $ - $ - Benefits and surrender expenses: Direct $ 348,428 $ 158,793 $ 94,123 Ceded to affiliates (348,428 ) (158,793 ) (94,123 ) Benefits and surrender expenses, net of reinsurance $ - $ - $ - Increase in policy reserves: Direct $ (2,136 ) $ 3,630 $ 2,536 Ceded to affiliates 2,136 (3,630 ) (2,536 ) Increase in policy reserves, net of reinsurance $ - $ - $ - Policy reserves and claim liabilities are stated net of reinsurance balances ceded of $39,749 and $40,092 in 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company receives a commission equal to 100% of its actual expenses incurred for the Company’s business in its single premium deferred index annuity product, flexible premium deferred variable and index linked annuity product, and single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity product, which was $102,791, $86,481 and $70,391 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. All remaining commissions relate to the Company’s life and health products and total $506, ($668) and $766 for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. |

Statutory Financial Data And Dividend Restrictions | |
Statutory Financial Data and Dividend Restrictions | Note 9: Statutory Financial Data and Dividend Restrictions Risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements promulgated by the NAIC and adopted by the Insurance Department require U.S. life insurers to maintain minimum capitalization levels that are determined based on formulas incorporating asset risk, insurance risk, and business risk. The adequacy of the Company’s actual capital is evaluated by a comparison to the RBC results, as determined by the formula. At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s adjusted capital exceeded the RBC minimum requirements, as required by the NAIC. The Company is subject to statutory regulations as to maintenance of policyholders’ surplus and payment of stockholder dividends. Generally, dividends to a parent must be reported to the appropriate state regulatory authority in advance of payment and extraordinary dividends, as defined by statutes, require regulatory approval. The Company could pay $4,070 in stockholder dividends in 2021 without the approval of the Insurance Department. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies Insurance Guaranty Funds The Company is liable for guaranty fund assessments related to certain unaffiliated insurance companies that have become insolvent during 2020 and prior years. The Company includes a provision for all known assessments that will be levied as well as an estimate of amounts that it believes will be assessed in the future relating to past insolvencies. The Company has established a liability of $132 and $116 at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for guaranty fund assessments. The Company also estimates the amount recoverable from future premium tax payments related to these assessments and has not established an asset as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 since it does not believe any amount will be recoverable. Recoveries of assessments from premium taxes are generally made over a five-year period. Legal Matters Various legal and regulatory actions, including state market conduct exams and federal tax audits, are currently pending that involve the Company and specific aspects of its conduct of business. Like other members of the insurance industry, the Company is routinely involved in a number of lawsuits and other types of proceedings, some of which may involve claims for substantial or indeterminate amounts. These actions are based on a variety of issues and involve a range of the Company’s practices. The ultimate outcome of these disputes is unpredictable. These matters in some cases raise difficult and complicated factual and legal issues and are subject to many uncertainties and complexities, including but not limited to, the underlying facts of each matter; novel legal issues; variations between jurisdictions in which matters are being litigated, heard or investigated; differences in applicable laws and judicial interpretations; the length of time before many of these matters might be resolved by settlement, through litigation or otherwise and, in some cases, the timing of their resolutions relative to other similar matters involving other companies. In connection with regulatory examinations and proceedings, government authorities may seek various forms of relief, including penalties, restitution and changes in business practices. The Company may not be advised of the nature and extent of relief sought until the final stages of the examination or proceeding. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability, if any, resulting from all such pending actions will not materially affect the statutory basis financial statements of the Company. |

Summary of Significant Accoun_2
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2020 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying statutory basis financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division (“Insurance Department”), which differ in some respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Prescribed statutory accounting practices are practices incorporated directly or by reference in state laws, regulations and general administrative rules and are applicable to all insurance enterprises domiciled in a particular state. The Insurance Department has identified the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“APPM”), as promulgated by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”), as a source of prescribed statutory accounting practices for insurers domiciled in Iowa. Permitted statutory accounting practices encompass all accounting practices not prescribed by the NAIC and are approved by the insurance department of the insurer’s state of domicile. The Company does not utilize any permitted practices. GAAP/Statutory Accounting Differences The following summary identifies the significant differences between the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Department and GAAP: “Nonadmitted assets” (principally a portion of deferred taxes, the interest maintenance reserve and items not allocated) are excluded from the statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus through a direct charge to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, nonadmitted assets are presented in the balance sheet, net of any valuation allowance. Investments in bonds and notes are generally carried at amortized cost, while under GAAP, they are carried at either amortized cost or fair value based on their classification according to the Company’s ability and intent to hold or trade the securities. For statutory accounting, after an other-than-temporary impairment of bonds, other than loan-backed securities, is recorded, the fair value of the other-than-temporarily impaired bond becomes its new cost basis. For GAAP, an impairment is based on the net present value of expected cash flows if the Company intends to hold the security until it has recovered, and an impairment is recorded as a valuation allowance. Policy reserves, which are 100% ceded to CMFG Life, are established based on mortality and interest assumptions prescribed or permitted by state statutes, without consideration for withdrawals, which may differ from reserves established for GAAP using assumptions with respect to mortality, interest, expense, and withdrawals that are based on company experience and expectations. Under both GAAP and statutory accounting, deferred federal income taxes are provided for unrealized capital gains or losses on investments and the temporary differences between the reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities; however, there are limits as to the amount of deferred tax assets that may be reported as admitted assets under statutory accounting. Further, the change in deferred taxes is recognized as an adjustment to unassigned surplus under statutory accounting. For GAAP, changes in deferred taxes related to revenue and expense items are recorded in the statements of operations and comprehensive income. A federal income tax provision is required on a current basis only for the statutory basis statements of operations. The asset valuation reserve (“AVR”), a statutory only reserve established by formula for the purpose of stabilizing the surplus of the Company against fluctuations in the fair value of certain invested assets, is recorded as a liability by a direct charge to unassigned surplus for statutory reporting. Such a reserve is not recorded under GAAP. For statutory reporting, the interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”) defers recognition of interest rate-related gains and losses resulting from the disposal of investment securities and amortizes them into income over the remaining contractual maturities of those securities; under GAAP, such gains and losses are recognized in income immediately. Amounts due from reinsurers for their share of ceded reserves are netted against the reserves rather than shown as assets as under GAAP. Deposits, surrenders, and benefits on certain annuities, including those recorded in the separate accounts, are recorded in the statutory basis statements of operations, while such deposits and benefits are credited or charged directly to the policyholder account balances under GAAP. As a result, under GAAP, revenues on these types of contracts are composed of contract charges and fees, which are recognized when assessed against the account balance. Under GAAP, amounts collected are credited directly to policyholder account balances, and the benefits and claims on these contracts that are charged to expense only include benefits incurred in the period in excess of related policyholder account balances. Single premium deferred index annuities, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuities and flexible premium variable and index linked deferred annuities are reported as a separate account product for statutory reporting. For GAAP, only the variable annuity component of the flexible premium variable and index linked deferred annuity is reported as a separate account product, with the other related assets and liabilities reported in the general account because criteria for separate account reporting are not met. The criteria are that funds must be invested at the direction of the contract holder and investment results must be passed through to the contract holder. Comprehensive income and its components are not presented in the statutory basis financial statements, whereas under GAAP, comprehensive income is presented and changes in comprehensive income are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholder’s equity. The statutory basis statements of cash flows are presented in the required statutory format. Under GAAP, the indirect method for the statements of cash flows requires a reconciliation of net income to net cash provided by operating activities. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the statutory basis financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the statutory basis financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and, in some cases, the difference could be material. Investment valuations, policy reserve valuations, determination of other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”), deferred tax asset valuation reserves and reinsurance balances are most affected by the use of estimates and assumptions. |
Investments | Investments Investments are valued as prescribed by the NAIC. Bonds and notes: Net investment income: Net realized capital (losses): Net unrealized capital gains |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash includes unrestricted deposits in financial institutions. Cash equivalents include money market mutual funds and investments with maturities at the date of purchase of 90 days or less and are reported at carrying value, which approximates amortized cost. Money market mutual funds are valued based on the closing price as of December 31. |
Income Taxes | Income Tax Deferred income taxes are recognized, subject to an admissibility test for deferred tax assets, and represent the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the statutory basis financial statement carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a statutory valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. See Note 5 for the components of the admissibility test used to calculate the admitted deferred tax assets. Recorded deferred tax amounts are adjusted to reflect changes in income tax rates and other tax law provisions as they are enacted. The net change in deferred taxes is recorded directly to unassigned surplus. The Company is subject to tax-related audits. The Company accounts for any federal and foreign tax contingent liabilities in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”) No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets as modified by SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes, and any state and other tax contingent liabilities in accordance with SSAP No. 5R. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was enacted by the U.S. federal government on March 27, 2020. The income tax provisions of the CARES Act did not have a material impact on the Company’s statutory basis financial statements. |
Reinsurance | Reinsurance Reinsurance premiums, claims and benefits, commission expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business ceded are accounted for on a basis consistent with the accounting for the underlying direct policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Premiums and benefits ceded to other companies have been reported as reductions of premium income and benefits in the accompanying statutory basis statements of operations. Policy and claim reserves are reported net of unbilled reinsurance recoverables. The Company has evaluated its reinsurance contracts and determined that all significant contracts transfer the underlying economic risk of loss. Since CMFG Life is the only reinsurer, there is no concern of default on reinsurance receivable balances. |
Separate Accounts | Separate Accounts The Company issues single premium deferred index annuities, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuities and flexible premium variable and index linked deferred annuities, the assets and liabilities of which are legally segregated and reflected in the accompanying statutory basis statements of admitted assets, liabilities and capital and surplus as assets and liabilities of the separate accounts. All separate account assets and liabilities are ceded to CMFG Life on a coinsurance basis except the variable annuity of the flexible premium variable and index linked deferred annuities that are ceded on a modified coinsurance basis and the related assets and liabilities are retained in the Company’s separate account. Separate account assets for the variable annuity component of the flexible premium variable and index linked deferred and single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity are stated at fair value. Separate account liabilities are accounted for in a manner similar to other policy reserves. Separate account premium deposits, benefit expenses and contract fee income for investment management and policy administration are reflected by the Company in the accompanying statutory basis statements of operations. The variable annuity contract holders of the flexible premium variable and index linked deferred and the single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity are able to invest in investment funds managed for their benefit. All of the flexible premium variable separate account assets are invested in unit investment trusts that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. CMFG Life, on behalf of MLIC, invests the single premium deferred index annuity, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity and flexible premium deferred variable premiums for the benefit of the contract holder. The single premium deferred index, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index and flexible premium variable and index linked deferred annuities have two risk control accounts, referred to as the Secure and Growth Accounts; the Secure Account has a yearly credited interest rate floor of 0% and the yearly Growth Account floor is -10%. The Secure and Growth Accounts both have credited interest rate caps that vary with issuance. Interest is credited at the end of each contract year during the selected index term based on the allocation between risk control accounts and the performance of an external index during that contract year. At the end of the initial index term only the Secure Account will be available as an option to the policyholder. |
Policy and Contract Claim Reserves | Policy and Contract Claim Reserves Liabilities established for unpaid benefits for life insurance contracts represent the estimated amounts required to cover the ultimate cost of settling reported and incurred but unreported losses. These estimates are adjusted in the aggregate for ultimate loss expectations based on historical experience patterns and current economic trends. Any change in the probable ultimate liabilities, which might arise from new information emerging, is reflected in the statutory basis statements of operations in the period the change is determined to be necessary. Such adjustments could be material. The policy and contract claim reserves are 100% ceded to CMFG Life. |
Policy Reserves | Policy Reserves Life insurance reserves The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns the portion of the final premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values are not promised in excess of legally computed reserves. Extra premiums are charged for substandard lives, plus the gross premium for a rated age. Mean reserves are determined by computing the regular mean reserve for the plan at the rated age and holding, plus one-half of the extra premium charge for the year. Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released, tabular cost and tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies have all been determined by formulas prescribed by the Insurance Department. Individual annuity reserves: The policy reserves are 100% ceded to CMFG Life. |
Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts | Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts The Company recognizes a liability for policyholder deposits that are not subject to policyholder mortality or longevity risk at the stated account value. The account value equals the sum of the original deposit plus accumulated interest, less any withdrawals and expense charges. Such deposits primarily represent annuity contracts without life contingencies. |
Statutory Valuation Reserves | Statutory Valuation Reserves The IMR is maintained for the purpose of stabilizing the surplus of the Company against gains and losses on sales of investments that are primarily attributable to changing interest rates. The interest rate-related gains and losses are deferred and amortized into income over the remaining lives of the securities sold. If the IMR is calculated to be a net asset, it is nonadmitted. The AVR is a formulaic reserve for fluctuations in the values of invested assets, primarily bonds and notes. Changes in the AVR are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus. |
Other Liabilities | Other Liabilities The Company issues the single premium deferred index annuity contracts, single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity contracts and flexible premium deferred variable and index linked annuity contracts on the 10th and 25th of each month. The Company recognizes a liability on contracts for which it has received cash, but has not issued a contract. Other liabilities primarily consist of these customer funds pending completion of the policy issuance process. The customer funds are released from other liabilities when the policy application is completed. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards The Company adopted revised statutory principles-based based reserve valuation standards effective January 1, 2020. For life insurance, the amendments affect new business only and therefore had no impact on existing policy reserves. Further, the Company does not currently issue new life insurance business which would be impacted by the new valuation standards. For the flexible premium deferred variable and index linked annuities and single premium deferred modified guaranteed index annuity, there was an immaterial impact from adoption on the direct reserves, which are 100% ceded to CMFG Life. |
