Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	1. Organization and Basis of Presentation Federal Life Group, Inc. (“FLG”, “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”) is a newly created Pennsylvania corporation organized to be the stock holding company for Federal Life Mutual Holding Company and its subsidiaries (the “Predecessor”) following the conversion of Federal Life Mutual Holding Company from mutual to stock form (the “Conversion”). FLG was formed so that it could acquire all of the capital stock of the Predecessor as part of the Conversion. Prior to the Conversion, FLG was not engaged in any significant operations and did not have any assets or liabilities. After the Conversion, which was completed on December 11, 2018, FLG’s primary assets are the outstanding capital stock of the Predecessor and a portion of the net proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) which was completed on December 11, 2018. Prior to the Conversion, FLG was a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Predecessor. Following the Conversion, the Company reorganized its corporate structure so that the Predecessor is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of FLG. In connection with the Conversion, a Form S-1 “S-1”). In 2016, a subsidiary of the Predecessor, Federal Life Insurance Company (“Federal Life”), completed a reorganization in which it converted from a mutual to a stock insurance company within a newly created mutual holding company structure. As part of this reorganization, the Predecessor was formed as an Illinois mutual insurance holding company and Federal Life continued its existence as an Illinois stock life insurance company. All of the shares of Federal Life were issued to FEDHO Holding Company (“FEDHO”), an intermediate holding company that, in turn, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Predecessor. In the reorganization, policyholders’ membership interests in Federal Life automatically became membership interests in the Predecessor, but policyholders’ contractual rights remained with Federal Life. Since the effective date of the reorganization, each person who has become a Federal Life individual or group policyholder has automatically become a member of the Predecessor and has retained that membership interest so long as the Federal Life policy owned by the member remains in force. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are of the Predecessor. FLG is the successor to the Predecessor’s operations, which represents substantially all of the business of FLG. Refer to Note 13 for further discussion of subsequent events impacting the Company’s organization and presentation. The consolidated statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q S-X. S-1 S-1. S-1 10-Q. Federal Life is a stock life insurance company domiciled in Illinois. Federal Life was incorporated on September 8, 1899 under the laws of the State of Illinois and commenced business on May 5, 1900. Federal Life’s in force business is primarily comprised of traditional life policies (term insurance, whole life insurance, non-medical Federal Life primarily sells its interest sensitive life, whole life, term life, fixed and indexed annuities through a network of independent agents. Federal Life has two wholly-owned non-insurance Americana owns mineral rights in Arkansas, Georgia, Oklahoma and Texas. Americana earns royalty revenues from energy producers that are under agreement to drill for and produce oil and gas products on properties where Americana owns mineral rights. FED Mutual Financial Services, Inc. is a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) licensed broker/dealer that was established to distribute the Predecessor’s variable annuity products.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. The most significant estimates include those used in determining the capitalization and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), the valuation of investments, the liability for account balances (interest sensitive life contracts and annuities) and future policy benefits (traditional life contracts, immediate annuities, supplemental contracts with life contingencies, and accident and health), and the provision for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Investments Realized capital gains and losses on sales of investments include fixed maturity securities with calls and prepayments and are determined on the basis of specific security identification. Revisions Certain revisions have been made to previously reported June 30, 2018 consolidated statements of cash flows to reclassify $1,131 previously reported as other investing activities from investing activities to operating activities. This revision is embedded within the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and had no impact on previously reported net income or cash at the end of period.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Emerging Growth Company The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “Jobs Act”). As an emerging growth company, the Company utilizes the extended transition period provided in the Securities Act of 1933 for complying with new or revised accounting standards. Under this accommodation the Company may early adopt a new or revised accounting standard only if early adoption is permitted by the standard. Changes in accounting principles issued but not yet adopted described below reflect the Company’s status as an Emerging Growth Company and the extended adoption period allowed for such companies. Smaller Reporting Company Additionally, we qualify as a “smaller reporting company” as defined by the SEC.

Because of the potential for prepayment on mortgage-backed securities, they are not categorized by contractual maturity. The following table presents the sources of fixed maturity proceeds and the related gross investment gains (losses) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively: Predecessor Predecessor for the three month period ended for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 September 30, 2018 Fixed Equity Derivative Fixed Equity Derivative Maturities Securities Instruments Maturities Securities Instruments (Dollars in thousands) Proceeds from sales or maturities $ 2,377 $ — $ 237 $ 10,574 $ 261 $ 443 Gross gains from sales or maturities 78 — 341 153 261 680 Other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI) losses — — — (89 ) — — Gross losses from sales or maturities (9 ) — (196 ) (48 ) — (419 ) Predecessor Predecessor for the three month period ended for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 September 30, 2017 Fixed Equity Derivative Fixed Equity Derivative Maturities Securities Instruments Maturities Securities Instruments (Dollars in thousands) Proceeds from sales or maturities $ 4,955 $ 808 $ 81 $ 18,301 $ 2,349 $ 84 Gross gains from sales or maturities 21 725 82 164 1,503 91 Gross losses from sales or maturities (2 ) — (33 ) (21 ) — (40 ) For the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 a credit loss of $89,000 was recognized through realized losses because the Predecessor did not expect to fully recover the amortized cost value of two fixed income securities in the commercial mortgage backed sector that were held as available for sale. It was determined that that best estimate of the net present value of the future cash flow expected to be collected from these securities was significantly below their amortized cost values. A number of factors were analyzed to determine whether these impairments should be considered other-than-temporary, including but not limited to, fair market values of the securities, changes in fair market values, credit ratings, and an analysis of the underlying loan collateral with an assessment of the likelihood of full repayment of principal and interest. The credit loss reported was equal to the difference between amortized book value and the best estimate of the net present value of the projected cash flow expected to be recovered. The Company will evaluate future recovery estimates on a periodic basis. The following is a presentation of credit related other than temporary impairments (“OTTI”) recognized in earnings for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively: Predecessor Predecessor Predecessor Predecessor for the three month for the nine month for the three month for the nine month period ended period ended period ended period ended September 30, 2018 September 30, 2018 September 30, 2017 September 30, 2017 (Dollars in thousands) Credit related OTTI not previously reported — 89 — — Balance at end of period $ — $ 89 $ — $ — The Company has a comprehensive portfolio monitoring process to identify and evaluate each fixed income and equity security whose carrying value may be other-than-temporarily impaired. For each fixed income security in an unrealized loss position, the Company assesses whether management with the appropriate authority has made a decision to sell or whether it is probable that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis for reasons such as liquidity, contractual or regulatory purposes. If a security meets any of these criteria, the security’s decline in fair value is deemed other than temporary and is recorded in earnings. If the Company has not made the decision to sell the fixed income security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the fixed income security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company evaluates if it expects to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security by comparing the estimated recovery value calculated by discounting the best estimate of future cash flows at the security’s original or current effective rate, as appropriate, with the amortized cost of the security. If the Company does not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the fixed income security, the credit loss component of the impairment is recorded in earnings, with the remaining amount of the unrealized loss deemed to be related to other factors and recognized in AOCI. For equity securities, the Company considers various factors, including whether the Company has the intent and ability to hold the equity security for a period of time sufficient to recover its cost basis. Where the Company lacks the intent and ability to hold to recovery, or believes the recovery period is extended, the equity security’s decline in fair value is considered other than temporary and is recorded in earnings. The Company’s portfolio monitoring process includes a quarterly review of all securities through a screening process which identifies instances where the fair value compared to amortized cost for fixed income securities and cost for equity securities is below established thresholds, and also includes the monitoring of other criteria such as ratings, ratings downgrades or payment defaults. The securities identified, in addition to other securities for which the Company may have a concern, are evaluated for potential other-than-temporary impairment using all reasonably available information relevant to the collectability or recovery of the security. Inherent in the Company’s evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment for these fixed income and equity securities are assumptions and estimates about the financial condition of the issue or issuer and its future earnings potential. Some of the factors considered in evaluating whether a decline in fair value is other than temporary are: 1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost for fixed income securities, or cost for equity securities; 2) the financial condition, near-term and long-term prospects of the issue or issuer, including relevant industry specific market conditions and trends, geographic location and implications of rating agency actions and offering prices; and 3) the specific reasons that a security is in a significant unrealized loss position, including overall market conditions which could affect liquidity. The following table shows the fair value and gross unrealized losses aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017: Predecessor September 30, 2018 Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Total Gross Gross Gross Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Description of securities Value Loss Value Loss Value Loss (Dollars in thousands) U.S. government $ — $ — $ 2,825 $ (231 ) $ 2,825 $ (231 ) States, political subdivisions, other 14,256 (675 ) 2,546 (196 ) 16,802 (871 ) Corporate 52,763 (1,696 ) 8,985 (736 ) 61,748 (2,432 ) Residential mortgage-backed securities 19,642 (1,051 ) 5,703 (546 ) 25,345 (1,597 ) Commercial mortgage-backed securities 1,982 (67 ) 1,571 (104 ) 3,553 (171 ) Total $ 88,643 $ (3,489 ) $ 21,630 $ (1,813 ) $ 110,273 $ (5,302 ) Predecessor December 31, 2017 Less than 12 months 12 months or longer Total Gross Gross Gross Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Fair Unrealized Description of securities Value Loss Value Loss Value Loss (Dollars in thousands) U.S. government $ 1,161 $ (31 ) $ 1,782 $ (89 ) $ 2,943 $ (120 ) States, political subdivisions, other 8,773 (86 ) 714 (26 ) 9,487 (112 ) Corporate 10,935 (169 ) 6,853 (374 ) 17,788 (543 ) Residential mortgage-backed securities 11,517 (126 ) 2,263 (86 ) 13,780 (212 ) Commercial mortgage-backed securities 2,039 (27 ) 77 (14 ) 2,116 (41 ) Total $ 34,425 $ (439 ) $ 11,689 $ (589 ) $ 46,114 $ (1,028 ) It is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity.

Credit Risk The Company generally strives to maintain a diversified invested asset portfolio but is exposed to credit and other types of risks related to its holding in fixed income and equity securities. Such risk may be related to individual companies, sectors, or entire asset classes. The Company manages this risk by holding a diversified portfolio of securities and sectors and by limiting the amount of exposure to a single issuer of credit. For both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, approximately 25% of the Predecessor’s investments in fixed maturities were invested in commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities and approximately 58% and 58% in corporate bonds, respectively. Approximately 5% of the fixed income maturities were rated below investment grade. There is certain concentration risk from investments in companies that are engaged in similar activities and have similar economic characteristics. The largest corporate bond sector exposures at September 30, 2018 are consumer non-cyclical non-cyclical

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value estimates are made at specific points in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale, at one time, the Company’s entire holding of a particular financial instrument. Although fair value estimates are calculated using assumptions that management believes are appropriate, changes in assumptions could significantly affect estimates. Fair value estimates are determined for existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and certain liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value estimates presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. The Company has procedures in place to validate the fair values received from the independent pricing service. The Company assesses whether prices received represent a reasonable estimate of fair value through various controls designed to ensure that valuations represent a fair price, including calculation of portfolio returns, comparison of returns to corresponding benchmark returns, analysis of periodic changes in market prices, evaluation of corresponding market yields and spread levels, and comparing prices from multiple pricing sources. On an ongoing basis, the Company monitors the pricing service valuation methods and evaluates the various types of securities in its investment portfolio to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy. Most prices provided by the pricing services are classified into Level 2 due to their use of market observable inputs. In addition, tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Predecessor in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Fixed maturity and equity securities: If a fair value had not been provided for a security, the Predecessor would use a fair value estimated from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics or as determined in good faith by the Predecessor’s investment advisor, DWS. Derivative instruments: Policy loans: Cash and cash equivalents: Policyholder account balance: Amounts related to the Predecessor’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows: Predecessor Predecessor September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Carrying Carrying Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value (Dollars in thousands) Financial instruments recorded as assets: Fixed maturity securities $ 181,497 $ 181,497 $ 188,452 $ 188,452 Equity securities 6,620 6,620 6,209 6,209 Policy loans 9,599 9,599 9,852 9,852 Derivative instruments 517 517 395 395 Cash and cash equivalents 3,466 3,466 4,085 4,085 Separate account 24,434 24,434 24,779 24,779 Financial instruments recorded as liabilities: Policyholder account balance: Interest sensitive life contracts 41,337 41,337 41,078 41,078 Annuities 73,805 73,805 68,745 68,745 Dividend accumulations and other 6,830 6,830 7,076 7,076 Separate account 24,434 24,434 24,779 24,779 Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The hierarchy for inputs used in determining fair value maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Assets and liabilities recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at fair value are categorized in the fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs to the valuation techniques as follows: Level 1 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company can access. Level 2 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following: Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (a) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or (b) Valuation models whose inputs are observable, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in valuing the assets and liabilities. Summary of significant valuation techniques and inputs for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: Level 1 measurements: Fixed maturity securities: Comprised of U.S. Treasury and GNMA agency securities. Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access. Equities: Comprised of actively traded, exchange-listed equities. Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access. Derivative instruments: Comprised of actively traded, exchange-listed derivatives. Valuation is based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that the Company can access. Cash Equivalents: Comprised of money market funds. Market values for the money market funds are obtained from the fund managers. Separate account assets: Comprised of actively traded mutual funds that have daily quoted net asset values for identical assets that the Company can access. Market values for the actively traded mutual funds in which the separate account assets are invested are obtained daily from the fund managers. Level 2 measurements: Fixed maturity securities: States, political subdivisions, and corporate securities: As valuation technique the pricing vendor employs multi-dimensional relational application model which uses standard inputs including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided Residential mortgage-backed securities: As valuation technique the pricing vendor employs option-adjusted spread model and prepayment model as well as volatility driven, multi-dimensional spread tables using standard inputs including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided Commercial mortgage-backed securities: As valuation technique the pricing vendor employs multi-dimensional spread table and price tables using standard inputs including benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided Level 3 measurements: Equities: The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that exhibit less liquidity relative to those markets supporting Level 2 fair value measurements, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, collateral performance, credit spreads, and other estimates including custody statements.

Income Taxes	8. Income Taxes Effective 2016, the Predecessor files a consolidated federal income tax return under Federal Life Mutual Holding Company as the ultimate parent. Tax years 2014 through 2017 are subject to examination by the IRS. Prior to 2016, consolidated federal income tax returns were filed under Federal Life as the ultimate parent. The Predecessor had no liability for unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017 and believes it is reasonably possible that the liability will not significantly increase within the next twelve months. No amounts have been accrued for interest or penalties. The Tax Act limits life reserves for tax purposes to the greater of net surrender value or 92.81 percent of required reserves. It is not estimated that this will have a meaningful impact to the net admitted assets on the Predecessor’s balance sheet.

No effect has been given to any issuances of additional shares in connection with the grant of options or awards of stock under the stock-based incentive plan adopted by the Company. Under the stock-based incentive plan, the Company may issue 480,000 shares of its common stock. Of this, 140,000 shares were granted as restricted stock awards and 215,000 shares were used to award stock options under the stock-based incentive plan. The issuance of authorized but unissued shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options or for purposes of making restricted stock awards under the stock-based incentive plan instead of open market purchases would dilute the voting interests of existing shareholders by approximately 12%.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. The most significant estimates include those used in determining the capitalization and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), the valuation of investments, the liability for account balances (interest sensitive life contracts and annuities) and future policy benefits (traditional life contracts, immediate annuities, supplemental contracts with life contingencies, and accident and health), and the provision for income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments	Investments Realized capital gains and losses on sales of investments include fixed maturity securities with calls and prepayments and are determined on the basis of specific security identification.
Revisions	Revisions Certain revisions have been made to previously reported June 30, 2018 consolidated statements of cash flows to reclassify $1,131 previously reported as other investing activities from investing activities to operating activities. This revision is embedded within the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and had no impact on previously reported net income or cash at the end of period.
