Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business Vericity, Inc. is a Delaware corporation organized to be the stock holding company for Members Mutual Holding Company (Members Mutual) and its subsidiaries. On August 7, 2019, Vericity, Inc. completed the initial public offering of 14,875,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share (the IPO). The IPO was conducted in connection with the conversion of Members Mutual from mutual to stock form and the acquisition by Vericity, Inc. of all of the capital stock of Members Mutual following its conversion to stock form after its plan of conversion and amended and restated articles of incorporation were approved at a special meeting of eligible members on August 6, 2019 (the Conversion). As a result of the Conversion, Vericity, Inc. became the holding company for converted Members Mutual and its indirect subsidiaries, including Fidelity Life Association (Fidelity Life) and Efinancial, LLC (Efinancial). Vericity, Inc. operates as a holding company and currently has no other business operations. Fidelity Life is an Illinois domiciled life insurance company that was founded in 1896. Fidelity Life markets life insurance products through independent and affiliated distributors and is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states, except New York and Wyoming. Efinancial markets life and other products for non-affiliated insurance companies and sells life products for Fidelity Life. The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Vericity, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Reclassifications In 2019, we began reporting our holdings of FHLBC, which we are required to hold as a member of the FHLBC system, as other investments rather than equity securities as the stock is restricted in nature. The 2018 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities In the normal course of investing activities, the Company enters into relationships with variable interest entities (VIEs), as an investor in limited partnership interests and asset-backed securities. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, and therefore does not consolidate them. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on a qualitative assessment of the relative power and benefits of the Company and the other participants in the VIE. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these investments is limited to the investment carrying values included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and any unfunded commitments. Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities Fixed maturities and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported as unrealized gains or losses as discussed below. Fixed maturity securities include bonds, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. Equity securities that are classified as trading securities include master limited partnerships. Securities that are classified as trading are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported as net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated by discounting fixed maturity securities cash flows to reflect interest rates currently being offered on similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, by quoted market prices of comparable instruments, and by independent pricing sources. See Note 12 for further discussion on inputs and assumptions used to estimate fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), net of applicable deferred income taxes. The amortized cost of fixed maturity securities is determined based on cost, adjustments for previously recorded other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) losses, and the cumulative effect of amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion are included in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, the Company considers estimates of future prepayments in the calculation of the effective yield used to apply the interest method. If a difference arises between the anticipated prepayments and the actual prepayments, the Company recalculates the effective yield based on actual prepayments and the currently anticipated future prepayments. The amortized costs of such securities are adjusted to the amount that would have resulted had the recalculated effective yields been applied since the acquisition of the securities with a corresponding charge or credit to net investment income. Interest income on lower rated asset-backed securities is determined using the prospective yield method. Prepayment estimates are based on the structural elements of specific securities, interest rates, and generally recognized prepayment speed indices. For OTTI losses on fixed maturity securities, credit losses are recognized in earnings and losses resulting from factors other than credit of the issuer are recognized in other comprehensive income. See “Note 2–Investments” Mortgage Loans Mortgage loans are held on commercial real estate and are stated at the aggregate unpaid principal balances, net of any write-downs and valuation allowances. The Company identifies loans for evaluation of impairment primarily based on the collection experience of each loan. Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect principal or interest amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral. Impairments are included in net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest income from mortgage loans is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective yield method. Accrual of income is generally suspended for mortgage loans that are in default or when full and timely collection of principal and interest payments is not probable. Short-Term Investments Short-term investments include highly liquid securities and other investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months from the date of purchase. Securities included within short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported as unrealized gains or losses and are a component of AOCI, net of applicable deferred income taxes. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated by discounting fixed maturity securities cash flows to reflect interest rates currently being offered on similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, by quoted market prices of comparable instruments, and by independent pricing sources. See “Note 11 –Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value” Limited Partnership Interests Limited partnership interests consist of investments in hedge funds that are of a passive nature in that the Company does not take an active role in the management of these assets. The Company’s carrying value of investments in limited partnership interests is the Company’s proportionate share of the net asset value of each partnership, as determined by the general partner. Certain partnerships for which results are not available on a timely basis are reported on a lag, generally one month. Changes in net asset values are accounted for under the equity method and recorded as net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Policyholder Loans Policyholder loans are carried at the aggregate of the unpaid balance. Interest income on such loans is recorded as earned in net investment income using the contractually agreed-upon interest rate. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition such that they present insignificant risk of changes in value due to changing interest rates and lack of credit exposure. The carrying value of these securities approximates their fair value. Reinsurance The Company enters into reinsurance agreements to diversify risk and limit its overall financial exposure. Although these reinsurance agreements contractually obligate the reinsurers to reimburse the Company, they do not discharge the Company from its primary liability and obligation to policyholders. Risk transfer criteria are reviewed for each reinsurance contract to determine if the contract will be accounted for as reinsurance or under the deposit method of accounting. The Company estimates the amount of uncollectible reinsurance recoverables based on periodic evaluations of balances due from reinsurers, reinsurer solvency, and management’s experience. Changes in the estimated amounts for uncollectible reinsurance recoverables are presented as a component of life, annuity, and health claim benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts owed by reinsurers are considered past due based on the terms of the reinsurance contract. Reinsurance recoverables and any related allowance are written off after collection efforts have been exhausted or a negotiated settlement is reached with the reinsurer. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (DAC) Incremental direct costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions on sales, underwriting, policy issuance and processing, and medical inspection costs, are deferred for successfully placed contracts. DAC for the life insurance business is amortized over the life of the business; for traditional life products, the DAC is amortized as a level percentage of gross premiums; for universal life (UL) products, the DAC is amortized as a level percentage based on estimated gross profits (EGPs). DAC for the assumed block of deferred annuities is amortized over 20 years. For UL and the deferred annuities, amortization amounts are adjusted when revisions are made to the estimates of current or future EGPs. DAC balances are evaluated periodically to assess whether there are sufficient gross margins or gross profits to recover the remaining unamortized balances. Intangible Assets Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their expected useful lives using a method that best reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets will be consumed or on a straight line basis ranging from four to ten years. Software intangible assets are amortized over four years using an accelerated amortization method. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Interim impairment testing may be performed when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible assets may not be recoverable. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, and, if impaired, are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows. For years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have not recorded an impairment of intangible assets. Future Policy Benefits, Policyholder Account Balances, and Other Policyholder Liabilities Future policy benefits represent the reserve for traditional life insurance policies and annuities in payout status. Reserves for traditional life insurance policies are computed using the net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions at the issue date of the contracts, including mortality, policy lapse assumptions, and rates of interest. The reserves for annuities in payout status (structured settlements) represent the present value of assumed future payments based on contract terms for the future payouts and can include assumptions for mortality. To the extent that unrealized gains on available-for-sale fixed income securities would result in a premium deficiency had those gains actually been realized, an increase in reserves for certain immediate annuities with life contingencies is recorded net of tax as an increase (decrease) of unrealized capital gains included in AOCI. For years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, this adjustment, net of tax, was $1,960 and $1,297, respectively. Policyholder account balances include the liability for assumed deferred annuity and universal life contracts and the liabilities for policyholder dividends and death benefits on life insurance contracts that have been left on deposit with the Company. These liabilities represent the account value of the policyholder as there are no other benefits due. This liability is equal to the balance that accrues to the benefit of the policyholder, which includes the accumulation of deposits, plus interest credited, less withdrawals. Other policyholder liabilities include the amounts estimated for claims that have been reported but not settled and estimates for claims incurred but not reported. Long and Short-Term Debt Debt represents upfront commission payments received on certain term life products that are to be repaid as level commissions over the life of the underlying policies issued. The debt liability is accounted for under the interest method, which requires the imputation of interest resulting in the recognition of a discount as the difference between the cash payments received and the level commissions expected to be repaid based on current policy lapse assumptions. Under the interest method, the discount is amortized as interest expense over the period that level commissions are repaid resulting in a constant rate of interest when applied to the amount outstanding at the beginning of any given period. The amount to be repaid as level commissions are dependent on the level of expected policy lapses assumed for the underlying commissions financed; therefore, the debt liability may be adjusted in periods where revisions to policy lapse assumptions are made, which may result in the recognition of a gain or loss. Income Taxes The current receivable for federal income tax is recognized based on the estimated amounts to be reflected on the filed tax returns. Federal income tax expense or benefit is recognized based on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and using the applicable current federal income tax rate. Income taxes are allocated to operations and other comprehensive (loss) income based on the source of the taxable event. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effects of changes in tax rates or laws are recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. If necessary, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. See “Note 4 – Revenue Recognition Life and health insurance contract premiums are recognized as income when due from policyholders. Deposits on deposit-type contracts are entered directly as a liability when cash is received. We adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 606”) Commission revenue from the sale of insurance products by Efinancial is recognized once the insurance policy is issued by the insurance company and accepted by the customer (policy placement) and recorded as commission receivable, net of any advances received. Provision is made for commission revenue that, based on experience, will ultimately not be earned due to the customer discontinuing the underlying insurance policy. Commission revenue that Efinancial earns from the sale of insurance products where Efinancial acts as the general agent (wholesale distribution) is recorded net of related commission expense paid to the writing agency. Our primary revenue-generating arrangements that are within the scope of ASU 606 are our brokerage arrangements with third-parties. In these arrangements, our customer is the insurance carrier and we have a single performance obligation to place a policy for the insurance carrier. Our performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when the policy is placed, which is the point in time when the customer obtains control over the policy and has the right to use and obtain the benefits from the policy. In these arrangements, depending on the number of years the policy is in force, a significant majority of our consideration is received in the first year. In addition to the first-year consideration, depending on the specific carrier and product involved, we may also be entitled to renewal commissions over the period of time the policy remains in force. Our consideration is variable based on the amount of time we estimate a policy will remain in force. We estimate the amount of variable consideration that we expect to receive based on our historical experience or carrier experience to the extent available, industry data and our expectations as to future persistency rates. Additionally, we consider application of the constraint and only recognize the amount of variable consideration that we believe is probable to be received and will not be subject to a significant revenue reversal. We monitor and update this estimate at each reporting date. Because we recognize revenue prior to being entitled to the payment for these renewal commissions, we recognize a contract asset; however, we have determined that the amount of our contract asset is immaterial. Additionally, because our brokerage arrangements consist of a single performance obligation that is satisfied at the point in time that policies are placed, we do not have any remaining performance obligations in our contracts with customers. We have evaluated our arrangements and concluded that none of our brokerage arrangements include a significant financing component, and therefore do not adjust revenue for the time value of money. We have determined that any contract costs (e.g., costs to obtain or costs to fulfill) related to our brokerage arrangements are immaterial. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker makes decisions by analyzing our segment information, which is included in Note 14. For internal decision-making purposes and external reporting purposes, we do not disaggregate revenue beyond our segment information and believe that any further disaggregation is immaterial. Insurance lead sales include the sale of potential life insurance customer leads to outside parties including agencies and unaffiliated insurers. Sales of leads are recorded at the time the lead data is transferred to the customer and recorded as a receivable, net of allowance for returns. Net Investment Income and Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses) Net investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and reflects amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on an effective yield basis, based on expected cash flows. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized investment gains (losses), resulting from sales or calls of investments and representing the difference between the net proceeds and the carrying value of investments sold, are determined on a specific identification basis. Net realized investment gains (losses) are also recognized when declines in the fair value of invested assets are considered to be other-than-temporary. Changes in value reported for investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting are classified within net realized investment gains (losses). Policyholder Dividend Obligations Dividends payable to policyholders are determined annually based on the experience of the Closed Block policies and are payable only upon declaration by the Board of Directors of Fidelity Life. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, a provision has been made for dividends expected to be paid in the following calendar year of $1,194 and $1,233, respectively. The provision is recorded in other policyholder liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also establishes a policyholder dividend obligation when cumulative actual earnings of the Closed Block are in excess of the cumulative expected earnings that were determined at the inception of the Closed Block. See “Note 8 – Closed Block” Accounting Standards Adopted The core principle of the updated ASU 606 guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments, changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company adopted the new revenue guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The cumulative effect changes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the adoption of the updated guidance were as follows: Balance at December 31, Adoption Adjustment Balance at January 1, Assets 2018 Topic 606 2019 Commissions and agent balances $ 1,864 $ 8,571 $ 10,435 Deferred income tax assets, net $ 10,663 $ - $ 10,663 Shareholders' Equity Retained earnings $ 174,558 $ 8,571 $ 183,129 The impact of adoption on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2019 Revenues Before Adoption Adjustment Adoption Adjustment Effect After Adoption Adjustment Earned commissions $ 17,552 $ 136 $ 17,688 Total revenues $ 135,164 $ 136 $ 135,300 (Loss) income from operations before income tax $ (20,332 ) $ 136 $ (20,196 ) Income tax (benefit) expense (872 ) — (872 ) Net (loss) income $ (19,460 ) $ 136 $ (19,324 ) As of December 31, 2019 Assets Before Adoption Adjustment Adoption Adjustment Effect After Adoption Adjustment Commissions and agent balances $ 2,563 $ 8,707 $ 11,270 Deferred income tax assets, net $ 9,440 $ - $ 9,440 Shareholders' Equity Retained earnings $ 155,098 $ 8,707 $ 163,805 In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The updated guidance requires changes to the current financial instruments reporting model. The effects of the new guidance are around the accounting for equity investments. All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) are measured at fair value through earnings. There is no longer an available-for-sale classification for changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Under the new guidance, changes in the fair value of equity securities are reported as net realized investment gains (losses) in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact to the Company was not material. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income reclassify the stranded tax effects from AOCI at the time all such securities have been sold or matured will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting Standards Pending Adoption Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), an emerging growth company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the FASB or the SEC either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies. We also intend to continue to take advantage of some of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements of emerging growth companies pursuant to the JOBS Act so long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Accounting for Leases In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments) In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-12, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts (Topic 944). In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance on implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract, ASU No. 2018-15 , Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (Subtopic 350-40). |

Investments | Note 2—Investments The Company continuously monitors its investment strategies and individual holdings with consideration of current and projected market conditions, the composition of the Company’s liabilities, projected liquidity and capital investment needs, and compliance with investment policies and state regulatory guidelines. Available-for-Sale Securities The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, fair value, and OTTI loss included in AOCI of fixed maturities are as follows: December 31, 2019 Amortized Cost Unrealized Gain Unrealized Loss Fair Value OTTI Losses Fixed maturities U.S. government and agencies $ 14,195 $ 1,907 $ — $ 16,102 $ — U.S. agency mortgage-backed 38,542 1,044 (52 ) 39,534 — State and political subdivisions 23,246 1,561 (64 ) 24,743 — Corporate and miscellaneous 132,108 15,311 (280 ) 147,139 — Foreign government 131 40 — 171 — Residential mortgage-backed 8,820 421 (26 ) 9,215 (306 ) Commercial mortgage-backed 18,685 681 (31 ) 19,335 — Asset-backed 58,675 306 (299 ) 58,682 — Total fixed maturities $ 294,402 $ 21,271 $ (752 ) $ 314,921 $ (306 ) December 31, 2018 Amortized Cost Unrealized Gain Unrealized Loss Fair Value OTTI Losses Fixed maturities U.S. government and agencies $ 11,459 $ 1,181 $ (129 ) $ 12,511 $ — U.S. agency mortgage-backed 32,811 332 (562 ) 32,581 — State and political subdivisions 23,334 694 (117 ) 23,911 — Corporate and miscellaneous 155,372 5,972 (4,428 ) 156,916 — Foreign government 131 11 — 142 — Residential mortgage-backed 9,786 374 (75 ) 10,085 (269 ) Commercial mortgage-backed 16,409 56 (313 ) 16,152 — Asset-backed 55,001 117 (830 ) 54,288 — Total fixed maturities $ 304,303 $ 8,737 $ (6,454 ) $ 306,586 $ (269 ) Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Maturities of mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may be substantially shorter than their contractual maturity because they may require monthly principal installments and such loans may prepay principal. The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturities by contractual maturity, are presented in the following table: December 31, 2019 Amortized Cost Fair Value Due in one year or less $ 10,746 $ 10,839 Due after one year through five years 37,668 39,506 Due after five years through ten years 23,760 25,695 Due after ten years 97,506 112,115 Securities not due at a single maturity date—primarily mortgage and asset-backed securities 124,722 126,766 Total fixed maturities $ 294,402 $ 314,921 Fixed maturities with a carrying value of $3,398 and $4,678 were on deposit with governmental authorities, as required by law at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Company’s fixed maturities portfolio was primarily composed of investment grade securities, defined as a security having a rating of Aaa, Aa, A, or Baa from Moody’s, AAA, AA, A, or BBB from S&P or NAIC rating of NAIC 1 or NAIC 2. Investment grade securities comprised 98.1% and 94.0% of the Company’s total fixed maturities portfolio at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Short-Term Investments The Company owns $29,757 of U.S. Treasury Bills which mature in the first quarter 2020. These bills were purchased after completion of the IPO and the amortized cost of these securities at December 31, 2019 was $29,742. Mortgage Loans The Company makes investments in commercial mortgage loans. The Company, along with other investors, owns a pro rata share of each loan. The Company participates in 32 such investment instruments with ownership shares ranging from 3.1% to 30.0% of the trust at December 31, 2019. The Company owns a share of 287 mortgage loans with a loan average balance of $181 and a maximum exposure related to any single loan of $555.

At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had 5 and 6 mortgage loans with a total carrying value of $528 and $617 that were in a restructured status, respectively. There were no impairments for mortgage loans in 2019 and 2018.

Limited Partnership Interests In 2019, the Company sold all outstanding positions in limited partnership interests, which were $118 at December 31, 2018. The Company has no outstanding funding commitments as of December 31, 2019. Net Investment Income The sources of net investment income are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Interest from: Fixed maturities $ 12,977 $ 13,567 Policyholder loans 373 335 Mortgage loans 2,714 2,224 Short-term investments 441 — Cash and cash equivalents 646 125 Dividends on equity securities 409 397 Gross investment income 17,560 16,648 Investment expense (1,484 ) (1,547 ) Net investment income $ 16,076 $ 15,101 Investment expenses include investment management fees, some of which include incentives based on market performance, custodial fees and internal costs for investment-related activities. Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses) The sources of realized investment (losses) gains are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Investment (losses) gains from: Fixed maturities $ 487 $ 134 Equity securities 14 (1,140 ) Mortgage loans 214 32 Limited partnership interests (4 ) 59 Cash and cash equivalents 21 — Investment expenses (41 ) (52 ) Total net realized investment (losses) gains $ 691 $ (967 ) Other-Than-Temporary Impairment The Company regularly reviews its investments portfolio for factors that may indicate that a decline in the fair value of an investment is other-than-temporary. A fixed maturity security is other-than-temporarily impaired if the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis and the Company either intends to sell the fixed maturity security or it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. For all other securities in an unrealized loss position in which the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis, the security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired for credit reasons. Significant judgment is required in the determination of whether an OTTI loss has occurred for a security. The Company has developed a consistent methodology and has identified significant inputs for determining whether an OTTI loss has occurred. Some of the factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary are the financial condition and prospects of the issuer, payment status, the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due, credit ratings of the securities, and the duration and severity of the decline. The credit loss component of a fixed maturity security impairment is calculated as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate of cash flows discounted at the effective rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or prior impairment. The methodology and assumptions for estimating the cash flows vary depending on the type of security. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, cash flow estimates, including prepayment assumptions, are based on data from widely accepted third-party sources or internal estimates. In addition to prepayment assumptions, cash flow estimates vary based on assumptions regarding the underlying collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. If the present value of the modeled expected cash flows equals or exceeds the amortized cost of a security, no credit loss exists and the security is considered to be temporarily impaired. If the present value of the expected cash flows is less than amortized cost, the security is determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired for credit reasons and is recognized as an OTTI loss in earnings. The non-credit component, determined as the difference between the adjusted amortized cost basis and fair value, is recognized as OTTI in other comprehensive (loss) income. A rollforward of the cumulative credit losses on fixed maturity securities is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Beginning balance of credit losses on fixed maturities $ 828 $ 828 Additional credit losses for which an OTTI was not previously recognized 41 — Ending balance of credit losses on fixed maturities $ 869 $ 828 Unrealized Losses for Fixed Maturities The Company’s fair value and gross unrealized losses for fixed maturities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous gross unrealized loss position are as follows: Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Total December 31, 2019 Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Fixed maturities U.S. government and agencies $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — U.S. agency mortgage-backed 2,719 (28 ) 2,157 (24 ) 4,876 (52 ) State and political subdivisions 3,061 (64 ) — — 3,061 (64 ) Corporate and miscellaneous 6,799 (151 ) 1,613 (129 ) 8,412 (280 ) Residential mortgage-backed 2,811 (16 ) 161 (10 ) 2,972 (26 ) Commercial mortgage-backed 3,125 (31 ) — — 3,125 (31 ) Asset-backed 27,893 (196 ) 1,997 (104 ) 29,890 (300 ) Total fixed maturities $ 46,408 $ (486 ) $ 5,928 $ (267 ) $ 52,336 $ (753 ) Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Total December 31, 2018 Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Estimated Fair Value Gross Unrealized Losses Fixed maturities U.S. government and agencies $ 1,991 $ (82 ) $ 1,469 $ (47 ) $ 3,460 $ (129 ) U.S. agency mortgage-backed 11,420 (171 ) 12,565 (391 ) 23,985 (562 ) State and political subdivisions 5,420 (63 ) 2,416 (54 ) 7,836 (117 ) Corporate and miscellaneous 62,162 (3,359 ) 7,310 (1,069 ) 69,472 (4,428 ) Residential mortgage-backed 4,667 (53 ) 621 (22 ) 5,288 (75 ) Commercial mortgage-backed 4,948 (117 ) 4,357 (196 ) 9,305 (313 ) Asset-backed 35,372 (703 ) 6,325 (127 ) 41,697 (830 ) Total fixed maturities $ 125,980 $ (4,548 ) $ 35,063 $ (1,906 ) $ 161,043 $ (6,454 ) The indicated gross unrealized losses in all fixed maturity categories were $753 and $6,454 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Certain net operating loss carryforwards will expire between 2020 and 2032, whereas others have an unlimited carryforward. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cut and Jobs Act Bill “H.R.1” was enacted, which, among other things allows Net Operating Losses (NOL) to be carried forward indefinitely, therefore NOL’s generated after December 31, 2017 are reflected in the table below under the caption no expiration. Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (“Section 382”) limits how much of a loss carryforward existing as of the date of an ownership change that can be used to offset annual taxable income subsequent to the change of ownership. As a result of the IPO and Section 382, the Company will be restricted in its ability to utilize loss carryforwards. The annual limit is estimated to be approximately $3.1 million. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are as follows: Life Sub-Group Non-Life Sub-Group Total Year net operating loss expires 2020 — 1,229 1,229 2021 — 5,249 5,249 2022 — 5,057 5,057 2023 — 3,061 3,061 2024 — 1,708 1,708 2025 — 8,121 8,121 2026 — 5,361 5,361 2027 — 2,539 2,539 2028 — 1,099 1,099 2029 — 13,527 13,527 2030 — 5,311 5,311 2031 — 5,267 5,267 2032 — 4,266 4,266 No expiration — 20,800 20,800 $ — $ 82,595 $ 82,595 For 2019, the Company generated $4,326 of taxable income which, to the extent possible, was offset by net operating loss carryforwards arising in prior years. For 2018, the Company generated $3,649 of taxable income, which was offset by a reduction of net operating loss carryforwards arising in prior years. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the Company does not expect the unrecognized tax benefits to increase in the next 12 months. The Company records penalties and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expense. The Company filed a consolidated federal income tax return for tax year 2018 and will file such for the period January 1, 2019 through August 7, 2019. Subsequent to the completion of the IPO, the Company will file separate Life and Non-Life tax returns for periods beginning after August 7, 2019. |

Policy Liabilities | Note 5—Policy Liabilities Future Policy Benefits and Claims Future policy benefits and claims represent the reserve for direct and assumed traditional life insurance policies and annuities in payout status. The annuities in payout status are certain structured settlement contracts. The policy liability for structured settlement contracts of $18,474 and $16,145 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is computed as the present value of contractually-specified future benefits. The amount included in the policy liability for structured settlements that are life contingent at December 31, 2019 and 2018, is $13,637 and $11,258, respectively. To the extent that unrealized gains on fixed income securities would result in a premium deficiency had those gains actually been realized, a premium deficiency reserve is recorded. A liability of $4,482 and $2,001 is included as part of the liability for structured settlements with respect to this deficiency at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The offset to this liability is recorded as a reduction of the unrealized capital gains included in AOCI. Participating life insurance in force was 15.9% and 21.9% of the face value of total life insurance in force at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |

Reinsurance | Note 6—Reinsurance The Company uses reinsurance to mitigate exposure to potential losses, provide additional capacity for growth, and provide greater diversity of business. For ceded reinsurance, the Company remains liable to the extent that reinsuring companies may not be able to meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements. To manage the risk from failure of a reinsurer to meet its obligations, the Company periodically evaluates the financial condition of all of its reinsurers.

Closed Block Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Closed Block | Note 8—Closed Block The Closed Block was formed at October 1, 2006 and contains all participating policies issued or assumed by Fidelity Life. The assets and future net cash flows of the Closed Block are available only for purposes of paying benefits, expenses and dividends of the Closed Block and are not available to the Company, except for an amount of additional funding that was established at the inception of the Closed Block. The additional funding was designed to protect the block against future experience, and if the funding is not required for that purpose, is subject to reversion to the Company in the future. Any reversion of Closed Block assets to the Company must be approved by the Illinois Department of Insurance (IDOI). In October 2011, the IDOI approved a reversion of a portion of the initial funding that the Company had determined was not required to fund the Closed Block. The carrying value of the assets transferred from the Closed Block on October 31, 2011, the date of transfer, was $4,397. The assets and liabilities within the Closed Block are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on the same basis as other accounts of the Company. The maximum future earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income to be recognized from Closed Block assets and liabilities represent the estimated future Closed Block profits that will accrue to the Company and is calculated as the excess of Closed Block liabilities over Closed Block assets. Included in Closed Block assets are $9,861 and $9,541 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, of additional Closed Block funding, plus accrued interest, that is eligible for reversion to the Company if not needed to fund Closed Block experience. The Closed Block was funded based on a model developed to forecast the future cash flows of the Closed Block, which is referred to as the actuarial calculation. The actuarial calculation projected the anticipated future cash flows of the Closed Block as established at the initial funding. We compare the actual results of the Closed Block to expected results from the actuarial calculation as part of the annual assessment of the current level of policyholder dividends. The assessment of policyholder dividends includes projections of future experience of the Closed Block. The review of Closed Block experience also includes consideration of whether policyholder dividend obligations should be recorded to reflect favorable Closed Block experience that has not yet been reflected in the dividend scales. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized policyholder dividend obligations of $11,453 and $9,383, respectively, resulting from the excess of actual cumulative earnings over the expected cumulative earnings and from accumulated net unrealized investment gains that have arisen subsequent to the establishment of the Closed Block. The impacts on the Company’s comprehensive (loss) income from recognizing policyholder dividend obligations are as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Actual cumulative (loss) income earnings over expected cumulative earnings $ (9,049 ) $ (8,668 ) Income tax (benefit) expense (1,900 ) (1,820 ) Net (loss) income impact (7,149 ) (6,848 ) Accumulated net unrealized investment (losses) gains (2,404 ) (715 ) Income tax (benefit) expense (504 ) (150 ) Other comprehensive (loss) income impact (1,900 ) (565 ) Comprehensive (loss) income impact $ (9,049 ) $ (7,413 ) Information regarding the Closed Block liabilities (assets) designated to the Closed Block is as follows: Year Ended December 31, Closed Block Liabilities 2019 2018 Future policy benefits and claims $ 39,704 $ 58,468 Policyholder account balances 7,608 8,147 Other policyholder liabilities 4,630 3,856 Policyholder dividend obligations 11,453 9,383 Other liabilities (assets) 8,778 (1,061 ) Total Closed Block liabilities 72,173 78,793 Assets Designated to the Closed Block Investments: Fixed maturities – available-for-sale – at fair value (amortized cost $33,455 and $34,631, respectively) 37,483 36,104 Policyholder loans 1,249 1,321 Total investments 38,732 37,425 Cash and cash equivalents 7,025 2,664 Premiums due and uncollected 9,625 2,595 Accrued investment income 432 450 Reinsurance recoverables 23,447 36,900 Deferred income tax assets, net 3,557 5,314 Total assets designated to the Closed Block 82,818 85,348 Excess of Closed Block assets over liabilities 10,645 6,555 Amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income: Unrealized investment gains (losses), net of income tax 3,182 1,164 Allocated to policyholder dividend obligations, net of income tax (1,900 ) (565 ) Total amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive income 1,282 599 Maximum future earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income to be recognized from Closed Block assets and liabilities (includes excess assets of $9,861 and $9,541, respectively) $ (9,363 ) $ (5,956 ) Information regarding the policyholder dividend obligations is as follows: December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Beginning balance $ 9,383 $ 11,097 Impact from earnings allocable to policyholder dividend obligations 381 47 Change in net unrealized investment (losses) gains allocated to policyholder dividend obligations 1,689 (1,761 ) Ending balance $ 11,453 $ 9,383 Information regarding the Closed Block revenues and expenses is as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Revenues Net insurance premiums $ 749 $ 5,525 Net investment income 1,561 1,611 Net realized investment gains 161 38 Total revenues 2,471 7,174 Benefits and expenses Life and annuity benefits—including policyholder dividends of $1,097 and $1,209, respectively 1,445 5,044 Interest credited to policyholder account balances 194 207 Operating costs and expenses (3,482 ) (127 ) Total expenses (1,843 ) 5,124 Revenues, net of expenses before provision for income tax expense 4,314 2,050 Income tax expense 906 430 Revenues, net of expenses and provision for income tax expense $ 3,408 $ 1,620 The Company charges the Closed Block with federal income taxes and state and local premium taxes, policy maintenance costs and investment management expenses relating to the Closed Block, as provided in the Closed Block Memorandum.

Regulated Operations [Abstract] | |
Regulatory Matters | Note 9—Regulatory Matters Minimum Capital and Surplus Requirements Fidelity Life is required to comply with the provisions of state insurance statutes in the jurisdictions in which it does business. These statutes include minimum capital and surplus requirements. At December 31, 2019, Fidelity Life exceeded the minimum capital and surplus level of $2,000 required by Illinois, its state of domicile. Risk-Based Capital Requirements The NAIC established a standard for assessing the solvency of insurance companies using a formula for determining each insurer’s risk-based capital (RBC). At December 31, 2019, the RBC of the Company’s insurance subsidiary, Fidelity Life, exceeded the levels at which certain regulatory corrective actions would be initiated. Dividend Limitations The maximum amount of dividends that can be paid by Illinois life insurance companies to shareholders without 30 days prior notice to the Director of the IDOI is the greater of (i) statutory net income for the preceding year or (ii) 10% of statutory surplus as of the preceding year-end. However, under State of Illinois insurance statutes, dividends may be paid only from surplus, excluding unrealized appreciation in value of investments without prior approval. All dividends paid by Fidelity Life must be reported to the IDOI prior to payment. Fidelity Life declared and paid dividends in the amount of $5,000 and $7,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In connection with the approval of the Conversion by the Director, the Company agreed, for a period of twenty-four months following the completion of the Conversion, to (i) seek the prior approval of the IDOI for any declaration of an ordinary dividend by Fidelity Life, and (ii) either maintain $20 million of the proceeds of the IPO at Vericity, Inc. or use all or a portion of that $20 million to fund Company operations. Statutory Accounting Practices Fidelity Life prepares their statutory-basis financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the IDOI. The IDOI requires that insurance companies domiciled in Illinois prepare their statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with the NAIC’s Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, as modified by the IDOI. In addition, the IDOI has the right to permit other specific practices that may deviate from prescribed practices. Statutory Financial Information The statutory capital and surplus and net income for Fidelity Life, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the IDOI, at December 31, 2019 and 2018, and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, are as follows: At December 31, 2019 2018 Statutory capital and surplus Fidelity Life $ 114,676 $ 121,866 Year Ended December 31, 2019 2018 Statutory net income Fidelity Life $ 7,594 $ 2,295 |

Litigation The Company is subject to legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of its business. Management does not believe such litigation will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company establishes accruals for litigation and regulatory matters when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated. For litigation and regulatory matters where a loss may be reasonably possible but not probable or, is probable but not reasonably able to be estimated, no accrual is established, but the matter, if material, is disclosed. The Company is not aware of any material legal or regulatory matters threatened or pending against the Company. Debt The Company is a member of the FHLBC. As a member, the Company is able to borrow on a collateralized basis from FHLBC which can be used as an alternative source of liquidity. FHLBC membership requires the Company to own member stock. At December 31, 2019, the Company held $104 of FHLBC common stock, which allows the Company to borrow up to $2,311. Interest on borrowed funds is charged at variable rates established from time to time by FHLBC and depending on the borrowing option selected at the time of the borrowing. No amounts have been borrowed from the FHLBC as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value | Note 11—Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value Fair value is the estimated 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 Company attempts to establish fair value as an exit price consistent with transactions taking place under normal market conventions. The Company utilizes market observable information to the extent possible and seeks to obtain quoted market prices for all securities. If quoted market prices in active markets are not available, the Company uses a number of methodologies to establish fair value estimates including discounted cash flow models, prices from recently executed transactions of similar securities, or broker/dealer quotes. Fair values for the Company’s fixed maturities and equity securities are determined by management, utilizing prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Management reviews on an ongoing basis the reasonableness of the methodologies used by the pricing services to ensure prices received represent a reasonable estimate of fair value and to confirm representations regarding whether inputs are observable or unobservable. The main procedure the Company employs in fulfillment of this objective includes back-testing transactions, where past fair value estimates are compared to actual transactions executed in the market on similar dates. The Company’s assets and liabilities have been classified into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Level 1 and Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets the Company can access. Level 1 assets include securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Level – This level includes fixed maturities priced principally by independent pricing services using observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments on inactive markets; and model-derived valuations for which all significant inputs are observable market data. Level 2 instruments include most corporate debt securities and U.S. government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are valued by models using inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. Level – Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. Level 3 instruments include less liquid assets for which significant inputs are unobservable in the market, such as structured securities with complex features that require significant management assumptions or estimation in the fair value measurement. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. Certain assets and liabilities are not carried at fair value on a recurring basis, including investments such as mortgage loans, intangible assets, future policy benefits excluding term life reserves and policyholder account balances. Accordingly, such investments are only included in the fair value hierarchy disclosure when the investment is subject to re-measurement at fair value after initial recognition (for example, when there is evidence of impairment) and the resulting re-measurement is reflected in the consolidated financial statements at the reporting date. Recurring and Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company’s assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis, by fair value hierarchy level, are as follows: December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair Value Recurring fair value measurements Financial instruments recorded as assets: Fixed maturities U.S. government and agencies $ — $ 16,102 $ — $ 16,102 U.S. agency mortgage-backed — 39,535 — 39,535 State and political subdivisions — 24,743 — 24,743 Corporate and miscellaneous 1,870 145,268 — 147,138 Foreign government — 171 — 171 Residential mortgage-backed — 9,215 — 9,215 Commercial mortgage-backed — 19,335 — 19,335 Asset-backed — 57,467 1,215 58,682 Total fixed maturities 1,870 311,836 1,215 314,921 Short-term investments 29,757 — — 29,757 Equity securities – trading 5,231 — — 5,231 Total recurring assets $ 36,858 $ 311,836 $ 1,215 $ 349,909 December 31, 2018 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Fair Value Recurring fair value measurements Financial instruments recorded as assets: Fixed maturities U.S. government and agencies $ — $ 12,510 $ — $ 12,510 U.S. agency mortgage-backed — 32,582 — 32,582 State and political subdivisions — 23,911 — 23,911 Corporate and miscellaneous 1,637 142,507 12,773 156,917 Foreign government — 142 — 142 Residential mortgage-backed — 10,085 — 10,085 Commercial mortgage-backed — 16,151 — 16,151 Asset-backed — 53,366 922 54,288 Total fixed maturities 1,637 291,254 13,695 306,586 Short-term investments — — — — Equity securities – trading 4,823 — — 4,823 Total recurring assets $ 6,460 $ 291,254 $ 13,695 $ 311,409 Summary of Significant Valuation Techniques for Assets and Liabilities on a Recurring Basis Level 1 securities include principally exchange-traded funds that are valued based on quoted market prices for identical assets. All the fair values of the Company’s fixed maturities and equity securities within Level 2 are based on prices obtained from independent pricing services. All of the Company’s prices for each security are generally sourced from multiple pricing vendors, and a vendor hierarchy is maintained by asset type and region of the world, based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. The Company ultimately uses the price from the pricing service highest in the vendor hierarchy based on the respective asset type and region. For fixed maturities that do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing services prepare estimates of fair value measurements using their pricing applications which incorporate a variety of inputs including, but not limited to, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, and U.S. Treasury curves. Specifically, for asset-backed securities, key inputs include prepayment and default projections based on past performance of the underlying collateral and current market data. Securities with validated quotes from pricing services are reflected within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as they generally are based on observable pricing for similar assets or other market significant observable inputs. Level 3 fair value classification consists of investments in structured placement securities where the fair value of the security is determined by a pricing service using internal pricing models where one or more of the significant inputs is unobservable in the marketplace, or there is a single broker/dealer quote. The fair value of a broker-quoted asset is based solely on the receipt of an updated quote from a single market maker or a broker-dealer recognized as a market participant. The Company does not adjust broker quotes when used as the fair value measurement for an asset. At December 31, 2019, the Company held three securities utilizing internal model pricing that was within Level 3. The fair value of Level 3 liabilities is estimated on the discounted cash flows of contractual payments. If the Company believes the pricing information received from third-party pricing services is not reflective of market activity or other inputs observable in the market, the Company may challenge the price through a formal process with the pricing service. Historically, the Company has not challenged or updated the prices provided by third-party pricing services. However, any such updates by a pricing service to be more consistent with the presented market observations, or any adjustments made by the Company to prices provided by third-party pricing services would be reflected in the balance sheet for the current period. When the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Thus, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (Level 1 or Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3). Net transfers into and/or out of Level 3 are reported as having occurred at the beginning of the period and are based on observable inputs received from pricing sources; therefore, all net realized and unrealized gains and losses on these securities for the period are reflected in the table that follows. A summary of changes in fair value of Level 3 assets held at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows: Total gains (losses) included in: Balance at January 1, 2019 Net Income (loss) OCI Purchases Sales Settlements Net Transfers Balance at December 31, 2019 Financial Assets Fixed maturities Corporate and miscellaneous $ 12,773 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ (12,773 ) $ — Asset-backed 922 — 3 1,875 — (1,585 ) — 1,215 Total assets $ 13,695 $ — $ 3 $ 1,875 $ — $ (1,585 ) $ (12,773 ) $ 1,215 Total gains (losses) included in: Balance at January 1, 2018 Net Income (loss) OCI Purchases Sales Settlements Net Transfers Balance at December 31, 2018 Financial Assets Fixed maturities Corporate and miscellaneous $ 22,290 $ — $ (607 ) $ — $ — $ (7,660 ) $ (1,250 ) $ 12,773 Asset-backed 1,000 — — — — (78 ) — 922 Total assets $ 23,290 $ — $ (607 ) $ — $ — $ (7,738 ) $ (1,250 ) $ 13,695 There were 29 transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2 based on observable inputs obtained from pricing sources in 2019 compared to 1 transfer in 2018. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2018 or 2019. There were no transfers out of Level 2 into Level 3 in 2018 or 2019. Financial Instruments not Measured at Fair Value The carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are as follows: Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2019 Financial instruments recorded as assets: Mortgage loans $ 51,835 $ — $ — $ 47,567 $ 47,567 Policyholder loans 6,040 — — 7,926 7,926 Short-term investments 29,757 29,757 — — 29,757 Financial instruments recorded as liabilities: — Future policy benefits, excluding term life reserves 21,290 — — 19,070 19,070 Long/short-term debt 20,600 — — 23,060 23,060 Policyholder account balances 87,517 — — 89,896 89,896 Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total December 31, 2018 Financial instruments recorded as assets: Mortgage loans $ 50,830 $ — $ — $ 46,629 $ 46,629 Policyholder loans 5,623 — — 7,355 7,355 Financial instruments recorded as liabilities: — Future policy benefits, excluding term life reserves 18,774 — — 17,090 17,090 Long/short-term debt 13,366 — — 12,992 12,992 Policyholder account balances 93,051 — — 88,513 88,513 The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities. Mortgage Loans —Fair value was based on the discounted value of future cash flows for all first mortgage loans adjusted for specific loan risk. The discount rate was based on the rate that would be offered for similar loans at the reporting date. Fair value excludes $3,193 and $3,262 of second and mezzanine mortgages carried at cost which fair value is not measurable at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Policyholder Loans —Fair value of policyholder loans are estimated using discounted cash flows using risk-free interest rates with no adjustment for borrower credit risk as these loans are fully collateralized by the cash value of the underlying insurance policy. Future Policy Benefits and Policyholder Account Balances —For deposit liabilities with interest rate guarantees greater than one year or with defined maturities, the fair value was estimated by calculating an average present value of expected cash flows over a broad range of interest rate scenarios using the current market risk-free interest rates adjusted for spreads required for publicly traded bonds issued by comparably rated insurers. For deposit liabilities with interest rate guarantees of less than one year, the fair value was based on the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Long and Short-Term Debt —Fair value was calculated using the discounted value of future cash flows method. The discount rate was based on the rate that is commensurable to the level of risk. The carrying amounts reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets has been divided into short and long-term based upon expected maturity dates. |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Business Segments | Note 14—Business Segments The Company’s current operations were organized into three reportable segments: Insurance, Agency, and Corporate. The Insurance Segment is composed of three broad lines consisting of Direct Life, Closed Block, and Assumed Life and Annuities. Direct Life and the Closed Block are distinct operations; the assumed business and the small amount of structured settlements are all blocks in run-off from a prior management arrangement. The Agency Segment includes the insurance distribution operations of the Company and includes commission revenue from the sale of Fidelity Life products.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Description of Business | Description of Business Vericity, Inc. is a Delaware corporation organized to be the stock holding company for Members Mutual Holding Company (Members Mutual) and its subsidiaries. On August 7, 2019, Vericity, Inc. completed the initial public offering of 14,875,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share (the IPO). The IPO was conducted in connection with the conversion of Members Mutual from mutual to stock form and the acquisition by Vericity, Inc. of all of the capital stock of Members Mutual following its conversion to stock form after its plan of conversion and amended and restated articles of incorporation were approved at a special meeting of eligible members on August 6, 2019 (the Conversion). As a result of the Conversion, Vericity, Inc. became the holding company for converted Members Mutual and its indirect subsidiaries, including Fidelity Life Association (Fidelity Life) and Efinancial, LLC (Efinancial). Vericity, Inc. operates as a holding company and currently has no other business operations. Fidelity Life is an Illinois domiciled life insurance company that was founded in 1896. Fidelity Life markets life insurance products through independent and affiliated distributors and is licensed in the District of Columbia and all states, except New York and Wyoming. Efinancial markets life and other products for non-affiliated insurance companies and sells life products for Fidelity Life. The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Vericity, Inc. and subsidiaries at December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications In 2019, we began reporting our holdings of FHLBC, which we are required to hold as a member of the FHLBC system, as other investments rather than equity securities as the stock is restricted in nature. The 2018 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities | Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities In the normal course of investing activities, the Company enters into relationships with variable interest entities (VIEs), as an investor in limited partnership interests and asset-backed securities. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, and therefore does not consolidate them. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on a qualitative assessment of the relative power and benefits of the Company and the other participants in the VIE. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to these investments is limited to the investment carrying values included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and any unfunded commitments. |
Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities | Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities Fixed maturities and equity securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported as unrealized gains or losses as discussed below. Fixed maturity securities include bonds, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. Equity securities that are classified as trading securities include master limited partnerships. Securities that are classified as trading are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported as net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated by discounting fixed maturity securities cash flows to reflect interest rates currently being offered on similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, by quoted market prices of comparable instruments, and by independent pricing sources. See Note 12 for further discussion on inputs and assumptions used to estimate fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI), net of applicable deferred income taxes. The amortized cost of fixed maturity securities is determined based on cost, adjustments for previously recorded other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) losses, and the cumulative effect of amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using the effective interest method. Such amortization and accretion are included in net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, the Company considers estimates of future prepayments in the calculation of the effective yield used to apply the interest method. If a difference arises between the anticipated prepayments and the actual prepayments, the Company recalculates the effective yield based on actual prepayments and the currently anticipated future prepayments. The amortized costs of such securities are adjusted to the amount that would have resulted had the recalculated effective yields been applied since the acquisition of the securities with a corresponding charge or credit to net investment income. Interest income on lower rated asset-backed securities is determined using the prospective yield method. Prepayment estimates are based on the structural elements of specific securities, interest rates, and generally recognized prepayment speed indices. For OTTI losses on fixed maturity securities, credit losses are recognized in earnings and losses resulting from factors other than credit of the issuer are recognized in other comprehensive income. See “Note 2–Investments” |
Mortgage Loans | Mortgage Loans Mortgage loans are held on commercial real estate and are stated at the aggregate unpaid principal balances, net of any write-downs and valuation allowances. The Company identifies loans for evaluation of impairment primarily based on the collection experience of each loan. Mortgage loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect principal or interest amounts according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral. Impairments are included in net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest income from mortgage loans is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective yield method. Accrual of income is generally suspended for mortgage loans that are in default or when full and timely collection of principal and interest payments is not probable. |
Short Term Investments | Short-Term Investments Short-term investments include highly liquid securities and other investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months from the date of purchase. Securities included within short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value. Changes in fair value are reported as unrealized gains or losses and are a component of AOCI, net of applicable deferred income taxes. Fair value is based on quoted market prices, when available. When quoted market prices are not available, fair value is estimated by discounting fixed maturity securities cash flows to reflect interest rates currently being offered on similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality, by quoted market prices of comparable instruments, and by independent pricing sources. See “Note 11 –Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value” |
Limited Partnership Interests | Limited Partnership Interests Limited partnership interests consist of investments in hedge funds that are of a passive nature in that the Company does not take an active role in the management of these assets. The Company’s carrying value of investments in limited partnership interests is the Company’s proportionate share of the net asset value of each partnership, as determined by the general partner. Certain partnerships for which results are not available on a timely basis are reported on a lag, generally one month. Changes in net asset values are accounted for under the equity method and recorded as net realized investment gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. |
Policyholder Loans | Policyholder Loans Policyholder loans are carried at the aggregate of the unpaid balance. Interest income on such loans is recorded as earned in net investment income using the contractually agreed-upon interest rate. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible into known amounts of cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition such that they present insignificant risk of changes in value due to changing interest rates and lack of credit exposure. The carrying value of these securities approximates their fair value. |
Reinsurance | Reinsurance The Company enters into reinsurance agreements to diversify risk and limit its overall financial exposure. Although these reinsurance agreements contractually obligate the reinsurers to reimburse the Company, they do not discharge the Company from its primary liability and obligation to policyholders. Risk transfer criteria are reviewed for each reinsurance contract to determine if the contract will be accounted for as reinsurance or under the deposit method of accounting. The Company estimates the amount of uncollectible reinsurance recoverables based on periodic evaluations of balances due from reinsurers, reinsurer solvency, and management’s experience. Changes in the estimated amounts for uncollectible reinsurance recoverables are presented as a component of life, annuity, and health claim benefits in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Amounts owed by reinsurers are considered past due based on the terms of the reinsurance contract. Reinsurance recoverables and any related allowance are written off after collection efforts have been exhausted or a negotiated settlement is reached with the reinsurer. |
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs | Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs (DAC) Incremental direct costs of acquiring new business, principally commissions on sales, underwriting, policy issuance and processing, and medical inspection costs, are deferred for successfully placed contracts. DAC for the life insurance business is amortized over the life of the business; for traditional life products, the DAC is amortized as a level percentage of gross premiums; for universal life (UL) products, the DAC is amortized as a level percentage based on estimated gross profits (EGPs). DAC for the assumed block of deferred annuities is amortized over 20 years. For UL and the deferred annuities, amortization amounts are adjusted when revisions are made to the estimates of current or future EGPs. DAC balances are evaluated periodically to assess whether there are sufficient gross margins or gross profits to recover the remaining unamortized balances. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets Intangible assets with definite lives are amortized over their expected useful lives using a method that best reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets will be consumed or on a straight line basis ranging from four to ten years. Software intangible assets are amortized over four years using an accelerated amortization method. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Interim impairment testing may be performed when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible assets may not be recoverable. Amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment based on undiscounted cash flows, which requires the use of estimates and judgment, and, if impaired, are written down to fair value based on discounted cash flows. For years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have not recorded an impairment of intangible assets. |
Future Policy Benefits, Policyholder Account Balances, and Other Policyholder Liabilities | Future Policy Benefits, Policyholder Account Balances, and Other Policyholder Liabilities Future policy benefits represent the reserve for traditional life insurance policies and annuities in payout status. Reserves for traditional life insurance policies are computed using the net level premium method on the basis of actuarial assumptions at the issue date of the contracts, including mortality, policy lapse assumptions, and rates of interest. The reserves for annuities in payout status (structured settlements) represent the present value of assumed future payments based on contract terms for the future payouts and can include assumptions for mortality. To the extent that unrealized gains on available-for-sale fixed income securities would result in a premium deficiency had those gains actually been realized, an increase in reserves for certain immediate annuities with life contingencies is recorded net of tax as an increase (decrease) of unrealized capital gains included in AOCI. For years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, this adjustment, net of tax, was $1,960 and $1,297, respectively. Policyholder account balances include the liability for assumed deferred annuity and universal life contracts and the liabilities for policyholder dividends and death benefits on life insurance contracts that have been left on deposit with the Company. These liabilities represent the account value of the policyholder as there are no other benefits due. This liability is equal to the balance that accrues to the benefit of the policyholder, which includes the accumulation of deposits, plus interest credited, less withdrawals. Other policyholder liabilities include the amounts estimated for claims that have been reported but not settled and estimates for claims incurred but not reported. |
Long and Short-Term Debt | Long and Short-Term Debt Debt represents upfront commission payments received on certain term life products that are to be repaid as level commissions over the life of the underlying policies issued. The debt liability is accounted for under the interest method, which requires the imputation of interest resulting in the recognition of a discount as the difference between the cash payments received and the level commissions expected to be repaid based on current policy lapse assumptions. Under the interest method, the discount is amortized as interest expense over the period that level commissions are repaid resulting in a constant rate of interest when applied to the amount outstanding at the beginning of any given period. The amount to be repaid as level commissions are dependent on the level of expected policy lapses assumed for the underlying commissions financed; therefore, the debt liability may be adjusted in periods where revisions to policy lapse assumptions are made, which may result in the recognition of a gain or loss. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The current receivable for federal income tax is recognized based on the estimated amounts to be reflected on the filed tax returns. Federal income tax expense or benefit is recognized based on amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and using the applicable current federal income tax rate. Income taxes are allocated to operations and other comprehensive (loss) income based on the source of the taxable event. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effects of changes in tax rates or laws are recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. If necessary, a valuation allowance is established to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to be realized. See “Note 4 – |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Life and health insurance contract premiums are recognized as income when due from policyholders. Deposits on deposit-type contracts are entered directly as a liability when cash is received. We adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 606”) Commission revenue from the sale of insurance products by Efinancial is recognized once the insurance policy is issued by the insurance company and accepted by the customer (policy placement) and recorded as commission receivable, net of any advances received. Provision is made for commission revenue that, based on experience, will ultimately not be earned due to the customer discontinuing the underlying insurance policy. Commission revenue that Efinancial earns from the sale of insurance products where Efinancial acts as the general agent (wholesale distribution) is recorded net of related commission expense paid to the writing agency. Our primary revenue-generating arrangements that are within the scope of ASU 606 are our brokerage arrangements with third-parties. In these arrangements, our customer is the insurance carrier and we have a single performance obligation to place a policy for the insurance carrier. Our performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when the policy is placed, which is the point in time when the customer obtains control over the policy and has the right to use and obtain the benefits from the policy. In these arrangements, depending on the number of years the policy is in force, a significant majority of our consideration is received in the first year. In addition to the first-year consideration, depending on the specific carrier and product involved, we may also be entitled to renewal commissions over the period of time the policy remains in force. Our consideration is variable based on the amount of time we estimate a policy will remain in force. We estimate the amount of variable consideration that we expect to receive based on our historical experience or carrier experience to the extent available, industry data and our expectations as to future persistency rates. Additionally, we consider application of the constraint and only recognize the amount of variable consideration that we believe is probable to be received and will not be subject to a significant revenue reversal. We monitor and update this estimate at each reporting date. Because we recognize revenue prior to being entitled to the payment for these renewal commissions, we recognize a contract asset; however, we have determined that the amount of our contract asset is immaterial. Additionally, because our brokerage arrangements consist of a single performance obligation that is satisfied at the point in time that policies are placed, we do not have any remaining performance obligations in our contracts with customers. We have evaluated our arrangements and concluded that none of our brokerage arrangements include a significant financing component, and therefore do not adjust revenue for the time value of money. We have determined that any contract costs (e.g., costs to obtain or costs to fulfill) related to our brokerage arrangements are immaterial. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker makes decisions by analyzing our segment information, which is included in Note 14. For internal decision-making purposes and external reporting purposes, we do not disaggregate revenue beyond our segment information and believe that any further disaggregation is immaterial. Insurance lead sales include the sale of potential life insurance customer leads to outside parties including agencies and unaffiliated insurers. Sales of leads are recorded at the time the lead data is transferred to the customer and recorded as a receivable, net of allowance for returns. |
Net Investment Income and Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses) | Net Investment Income and Net Realized Investment Gains (Losses) Net investment income consists primarily of interest and dividends. Interest is recognized on an accrual basis and reflects amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on an effective yield basis, based on expected cash flows. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net realized investment gains (losses), resulting from sales or calls of investments and representing the difference between the net proceeds and the carrying value of investments sold, are determined on a specific identification basis. Net realized investment gains (losses) are also recognized when declines in the fair value of invested assets are considered to be other-than-temporary. Changes in value reported for investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting are classified within net realized investment gains (losses). |
Policyholder Dividend Obligations | Policyholder Dividend Obligations Dividends payable to policyholders are determined annually based on the experience of the Closed Block policies and are payable only upon declaration by the Board of Directors of Fidelity Life. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, a provision has been made for dividends expected to be paid in the following calendar year of $1,194 and $1,233, respectively. The provision is recorded in other policyholder liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also establishes a policyholder dividend obligation when cumulative actual earnings of the Closed Block are in excess of the cumulative expected earnings that were determined at the inception of the Closed Block. See “Note 8 – Closed Block” |
Accounting Standards Adopted | Accounting Standards Adopted The core principle of the updated ASU 606 guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments, changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The Company adopted the new revenue guidance effective January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach. The cumulative effect changes to the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the adoption of the updated guidance were as follows: Balance at December 31, Adoption Adjustment Balance at January 1, Assets 2018 Topic 606 2019 Commissions and agent balances $ 1,864 $ 8,571 $ 10,435 Deferred income tax assets, net $ 10,663 $ - $ 10,663 Shareholders' Equity Retained earnings $ 174,558 $ 8,571 $ 183,129 The impact of adoption on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 and Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019 were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2019 Revenues Before Adoption Adjustment Adoption Adjustment Effect After Adoption Adjustment Earned commissions $ 17,552 $ 136 $ 17,688 Total revenues $ 135,164 $ 136 $ 135,300 (Loss) income from operations before income tax $ (20,332 ) $ 136 $ (20,196 ) Income tax (benefit) expense (872 ) — (872 ) Net (loss) income $ (19,460 ) $ 136 $ (19,324 ) As of December 31, 2019 Assets Before Adoption Adjustment Adoption Adjustment Effect After Adoption Adjustment Commissions and agent balances $ 2,563 $ 8,707 $ 11,270 Deferred income tax assets, net $ 9,440 $ - $ 9,440 Shareholders' Equity Retained earnings $ 155,098 $ 8,707 $ 163,805 In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments–Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The updated guidance requires changes to the current financial instruments reporting model. The effects of the new guidance are around the accounting for equity investments. All equity investments in unconsolidated entities (other than those accounted for using the equity method of accounting) are measured at fair value through earnings. There is no longer an available-for-sale classification for changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income (loss) for equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Under the new guidance, changes in the fair value of equity securities are reported as net realized investment gains (losses) in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impact to the Company was not material. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income reclassify the stranded tax effects from AOCI at the time all such securities have been sold or matured will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
Accounting Standards Pending Adoption | Accounting Standards Pending Adoption Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”), an emerging growth company is provided the option to adopt new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the FASB or the SEC either (i) within the same periods as those otherwise applicable to non-emerging growth companies or (ii) within the same time periods as private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies. We also intend to continue to take advantage of some of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements of emerging growth companies pursuant to the JOBS Act so long as we qualify as an emerging growth company, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation, and exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute payments. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842): Accounting for Leases In June 2016, the FASB issued new guidance on measurement of credit losses on financial instruments, ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments) In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-12, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Insurance Contracts (Topic 944). In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued new guidance on implementation costs in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract, ASU No. 2018-15 , Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software: Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (Subtopic 350-40). |
