Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | LINCOLN NATIONAL CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation Nature of Operations Lincoln National Corporation and its majority-owned subsidiaries (“LNC” or the “Company,” which also may be referred to as “we,” “our” or “us”) operate multiple insurance businesses through four business segments. See Note 13 for additional details. The collective group of businesses uses “Lincoln Financial Group” as its marketing identity. Through our business segments, we sell a wide range of wealth protection, accumulation and retirement income products and solutions. These products include fixed and indexed annuities, variable annuities, universal life insurance (“UL”), variable universal life insurance (“VUL”), linked-benefit UL, indexed universal life insurance (“IUL”), term life insurance, employer-sponsored retirement plans and services, and group life, disability and dental. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States of America generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, the information contained in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 (“ 2016 Form 10-K”), should be read in connection with the reading of these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements. Certain GAAP policies, which significantly affect the determination of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, are summarized in our 2016 Form 10-K. Certain amounts reported in prior year's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current year. Specifically, we reclassified cash flows from certain investing activities into their own respective line items within the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Previously, these amounts were reported within purchases of other investments or sales or maturities of other investments line items, as applicable, within cash flows from investing activities. These reclassifications had no effect on net income (loss), net cash provided by (used in) investing activities, or stockholders’ equity for the prior year. In the opinion of management, these statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2017 , are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017 . All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

New Accounting Standards [Abstract] | |
New Accounting Standards | 2. New Accounting Standards Adoption of New Accounting Standards The following table provides a description of our adoption of new Accounting Standard Updates (“ASUs”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and the impact of the adoption on our financial statements: Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2016-05, Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships The amendments clarify that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument identified in a hedging relationship in and of itself does not require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. We adopted the guidance in this ASU prospectively. January 1, 2017 The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. ASU 2016-06, Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments The amendments clarify the requirements for assessing whether contingent call and put options that can accelerate the payment of principal on debt instruments are clearly and closely related to their debt hosts. Upon adoption of this ASU, entities will be required to assess embedded call and put options solely in accordance with the four-step decision sequence that was developed by the FASB Derivatives Implementation Group. We adopted this ASU using a modified retrospective basis applied to existing debt instruments. January 1, 2017 The adoption of this ASU did not have an effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards The following table provides a description of future adoptions of new accounting standards that may have an impact on our financial statements when adopted: Standard Description Projected Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers & ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers; Deferral of the Effective Date This standard establishes the core principle of recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods and services. The amendments define a five-step process that systematically identifies the various components of the revenue recognition process, culminating with the recognition of revenue upon satisfaction of an entity’s performance obligation. Retrospective application is required. After performing extensive outreach, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year. Early application is permitted but only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. January 1, 2018 Our primary revenue sources will continue to be recognized in accordance with ASC Topic 944, Financial Services – Insurance . Our analysis indicates that approximately $1 billion of our revenue reported in fee income and other revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016, is within the scope of this ASU. We continue to evaluate the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Standard Description Projected Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities These amendments require, among other things, the fair value measurement of investments in equity securities and certain other ownership interests that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The change in fair value of the impacted investments in equity securities must be recognized in net income. In addition, the amendments include certain enhancements to the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities. Early adoption of the ASU is generally not permitted, except as defined in the ASU. The amendments should be adopted in the financial statements through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. January 1, 2018 We hold equity securities classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) securities that are currently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). Upon adoption of this ASU, we will be required to recognize changes in fair value of our equity securities through net income. See Note 4 for details regarding our equity securities currently classified as AFS securities. ASU 2016-02, Leases This standard establishes a new accounting model for leases. Lessees will recognize most leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a related lease liability. The lease liability is measured as the present value of the lease payments over the lease term with the right-of-use asset measured at the lease liability amount and including adjustments for certain lease incentives and initial direct costs. Lease expense recognition will continue to differentiate between finance leases and operating leases resulting in a similar pattern of lease expense recognition as under current GAAP. This ASU permits a modified retrospective adoption approach that includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect upon adoption. Early adoption is permitted. January 1, 2019 We are currently identifying all of our leases that will be within the scope of this standard; as such, we continue to evaluate the quantitative impact of adopting this ASU on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Based on our initial assessment, we do not expect there to be a significant difference in our pattern of lease expense recognition under this ASU. ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) These amendments clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations in ASU 2014-09, including how an entity should identify the unit of accounting for the principal versus agent evaluation. In addition, the amendments clarify how to apply the control principle to certain types of arrangements, such as service transactions, by explaining what a principal controls before the good or service is transferred to the customer. Transition requirements are consistent with ASU 2014-09. January 1, 2018 We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. See comments under ASU 2014-09 for more information. ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing These amendments clarify, among other things, the accounting guidance in ASU 2014-09 regarding how an entity will determine whether promised goods or services are separately identifiable, which is an important consideration in determining whether to account for goods or services as a separate performance obligation. Transition requirements are consistent with ASU 2014-09. January 1, 2018 We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. See comments under ASU 2014-09 for more information. Standard Description Projected Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2016-12, Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients The standard update amends the revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09 related to transition, collectability, noncash consideration and the presentation of sales and other similar taxes. The amendments clarify that, for a contract to be considered completed at transition, substantially all of the revenue must have been recognized under current GAAP. The amendments also clarify how an entity should evaluate the collectability threshold and when an entity can recognize nonrefundable consideration received as revenue if an arrangement does not meet the standard’s contract criteria. Transition requirements are consistent with ASU 2014-09. January 1, 2018 We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. See comments under ASU 2014-09 for more information. ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments These amendments adopt a new model to measure and recognize credit losses for most financial assets. The method used to measure estimated credit losses for AFS debt securities will be unchanged from current GAAP; however, the amendments require credit losses to be recognized through an allowance rather than as a reduction to the amortized cost of those debt securities. The amendments will permit entities to recognize improvements in credit loss estimates on AFS debt securities by reducing the allowance account immediately through earnings. The amendments will be adopted through a cumulative effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of the first reporting period in which the amendments are effective. Early adoption is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods therein. January 1, 2020 We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, with a primary focus on our fixed maturity securities (see Note 4). We currently reduce the amortized cost of the individual security when recognizing other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on these securities. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, we will no longer reduce the amortized cost of each individual security; rather we will establish a valuation allowance, and any declines or improvements in credit quality will be recognized through the valuation allowance. ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments These amendments clarify the classification of eight specific cash flow issues in an entity’s statement of cash flows where it was determined by the FASB that there is diversity in practice. Early adoption of the amendments is permitted, and retrospective transition is required for each period presented in the statement of cash flows. January 1, 2018 We are currently evaluating these disclosure requirements and will amend classifications in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows upon adoption as applicable. ASU 2016-16, Intra-Entity Asset Transfers Other Than Inventory This amendment requires an entity to recognize current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs, thereby eliminating the current GAAP exception that prohibits the recognition of income taxes until the asset has been sold to an outside party. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the annual reporting period for which financial statements have not been issued. January 1, 2018 We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. Standard Description Projected Date of Adoption Effect on Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash This amendment requires that amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included within cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. Early adoption is permitted using a retrospective transition method applied to each period presented. January 1, 2018 We will provide these additional disclosures in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows upon the adoption date as applicable. ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers These amendments clarify 13 issues related to the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The most significant issue of these amendments for us is the clarification that all contracts within the scope of Topic 944 are excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09, rather than just insurance contracts as described in ASU 2014-09. Transition requirements are consistent with ASU 2014-09. January 1, 2018 We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. See comments under ASU 2014-09 for more information. ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment These amendments eliminate the requirement in current GAAP to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test in favor of only applying Step 1. Under Step 1, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value, and an impairment charge is recognized when the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to first perform a qualitative assessment of an individual reporting unit to determine if the quantitative assessment in Step 1 is necessary. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted prospectively, and early adoption is permitted on impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. Impairment tests performed after January 1, 2020 We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost These amendments require that an entity report the service cost component of employee pension and postretirement benefit plans in the same line item as other compensation costs from services rendered by the applicable employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. ASU 2017-07 requires retrospective adoption related to the presentation of net periodic pension costs and postretirement benefit cost. January 1, 2018 We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. ASU 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities These amendments require an entity to shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium so that the premium is amortized to the earliest call date. Early adoption is permitted, and the ASU requires adoption under a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings. January 1, 2019 We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations. |

Variable Interest Entities [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities | 3. Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) Consolidated VIEs See Note 4 in our 201 6 Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of our consolidated VIEs, which information is incorporated herein by reference . As of March 2017 and December 2016 , our $ 200 million and $400 million credit-linked notes (“CLNs”) matured, respectively, and we no longer reflect the assets and liabilities associated with these VIEs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets or recognize the results of operations of these VIEs on our Consolidated Statements of Co mprehensive Income (Loss). We no longer have any exposure related to these VIEs. Asset and liability information (dollars in millions) for the consolidated VIEs included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets was as follows: As of March 31, 2017 As of December 31, 2016 Number Number of Notional Carrying of Notional Carrying Instruments Amounts Value Instruments Amounts Value Assets Fixed maturity securities: Asset-backed credit card loans (1) N/A $ - $ - N/A $ - $ 200 Total return swap 1 527 - 1 533 - Credit default swaps - - - 1 200 - Total assets 1 $ 527 $ - 2 $ 733 $ 200 (1) Reported in variable interest entities’ fixed maturity securities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we did not recognize any liabilities from consolidated VIEs on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We did hold one contingent forward instrument as of December 31, 2016; however, the instrument had a zero notional and carrying value. For details related to the fixed maturity AFS securities underlying these VIEs, see Note 4 . As described more fully in Note 1 of our 2016 Form 10-K, we regularly review our investment holdings for OTTI. Based upon this review, we believe that the AFS fixed maturity securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 201 7 . The gains (losses) for the consolidated VIEs (in millions) recorded on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) were as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Non-Qualifying Hedges Credit default swaps $ - $ 6 Contingent forwards - - Total non-qualifying hedges (1) $ - $ 6 (1) Reported in realized gain (loss) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss ). Unconsolidated VIEs See Note 4 in our 2016 Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of our unconsolidated VIEs, which information is incorporated herein by reference. Limited Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies We invest in certain limited partnerships (“LPs”) and limited liability companies (“LLCs”), including qualified affordable housing projects, that we have concluded are VIEs. We do not hold any substantive kick-out or participation rights in the LPs and LLCs, and we do not receive any performance fees or decision maker fees from the LPs and LLCs. Based on our analysis of the LPs and LLCs, we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of the LPs and LLCs. The carrying amounts of our investments in the LPs and LLCs are recognized in other investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and were $1.3 billion as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016. Included in these carrying amounts are our investments in qualified affordable housing projects, which were $ 35 million and $37 million as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. We do not have any contingent commitments to provide additional capital funding to these qualified affordable housing projects. We receive returns from these qualified affordable housing projects in the form of income tax credits and other tax benefits, which are recognized in federal income tax expense (benefit) on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and were less than $1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. Our exposure to loss is limited to the capital we invest in the LPs and LLCs, and there have been no indicators of impairment that would require us to recognize an impairment loss related to the LPs and LLCs as of March 31, 2017. |

The amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity AFS securities by contractual maturities (in millions) as of March 31, 2017 , were as follows: Amortized Fair Cost Value Due in one year or less $ 3,090 $ 3,131 Due after one year through five years 18,673 19,611 Due after five years through ten years 17,275 17,719 Due after ten years 41,094 44,795 Subtotal 80,132 85,256 Structured securities (ABS, MBS, CLOs) 5,702 5,846 Total fixed maturity AFS securities $ 85,834 $ 91,102 Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or pre-pay obligations. The fair value and gross unrealized losses, including the p ortion of OTTI recognized in OCI, of AFS securities (dollars in millions), aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, were as follows: As of March 31, 2017 Less Than or Equal Greater Than to Twelve Months Twelve Months Total Gross Gross Gross Unrealized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Losses and Fair Losses and Fair Losses and Value OTTI Value OTTI Value OTTI Fixed maturity securities: Corporate bonds $ 14,068 $ 471 $ 2,790 $ 302 $ 16,858 $ 773 ABS 121 4 270 22 391 26 U.S. government bonds 170 2 - - 170 2 RMBS 996 52 325 15 1,321 67 CMBS 210 4 18 2 228 6 CLOs 277 3 21 - 298 3 State and municipal bonds 231 12 46 6 277 18 Hybrid and redeemable preferred securities 56 3 141 37 197 40 Total fixed maturity securities 16,129 551 3,611 384 19,740 935 Equity securities 13 2 40 1 53 3 Total AFS securities $ 16,142 $ 553 $ 3,651 $ 385 $ 19,793 $ 938 Total number of AFS securities in an unrealized loss position 1,584 As of December 31, 2016 Less Than or Equal Greater Than to Twelve Months Twelve Months Total Gross Gross Gross Unrealized Unrealized Unrealized Fair Losses and Fair Losses and Fair Losses and Value OTTI Value OTTI Value OTTI Fixed maturity securities: Corporate bonds $ 15,820 $ 569 $ 3,187 $ 403 $ 19,007 $ 972 ABS 201 4 298 25 499 29 U.S. government bonds 18 2 - - 18 2 Foreign government bonds 29 1 - - 29 1 RMBS 989 58 392 23 1,381 81 CMBS 190 4 19 2 209 6 CLOs 259 3 25 - 284 3 State and municipal bonds 227 12 47 8 274 20 Hybrid and redeemable preferred securities 76 4 143 44 219 48 Total fixed maturity securities 17,809 657 4,111 505 21,920 1,162 Equity securities 4 2 44 2 48 4 Total AFS securities $ 17,813 $ 659 $ 4,155 $ 507 $ 21,968 $ 1,166 Total number of AFS securities in an unrealized loss position 1,744 For information regarding our investments in VIEs, see Note 3 . The fair value, gross unrealized losses, the portion of OTTI recognized in OCI (in millions) and number of AFS securities where the fair value had declined and remained below amortized cost by greater than 20% were as follows: As of March 31, 2017 Number Fair Gross Unrealized of Value Losses OTTI Securities (1) Less than six months $ 92 $ 31 $ - 18 Six months or greater, but less than nine months 25 7 1 4 Twelve months or greater 265 105 9 52 Total $ 382 $ 143 $ 10 74 As of December 31, 2016 Number Fair Gross Unrealized of Value Losses OTTI Securities (1) Less than six months $ 174 $ 52 $ 2 19 Nine months or greater, but less than twelve months 1 1 - 2 Twelve months or greater 364 167 10 62 Total $ 539 $ 220 $ 12 83 (1) We may reflect a security in more than one aging category based on various purchase dates. We regularly review our investment holdings for OTTI. Our gross unrealized losses, including the portion of OTTI recognized in OCI, on AFS securities decreased by $ 228 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 . As discussed further below, we believe the unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2017 , did not represent OTTI as (i) we did not intend to sell these fixed maturity AFS securities; (ii) it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these fixed maturity AFS securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis; (iii) the estimated future cash flows were equal to or greater than the amortized cost basis of the debt securities; and (iv) we had the ability and intent to hold the equity AFS securities for a period of time sufficient for recovery. Based upon this evaluation as of March 31, 2017 , management believes we have the ability to generate adequate amounts of cash from our normal operations (e.g., insurance premiums and fees and investment income) to meet cash requirements with a prudent margin of safety without requiring the sale of our temporarily-impaired securities. As of March 31, 2017 , the unrealized losses associated with our corporate bond securities were attributable primarily to widening credit spreads and rising interest rates since purchase. We performed a detailed analysis of the financial performance of the underlying issuers and determined that we expected to recover the entire amortized cost for each temporarily-impaired security. As of March 31, 2017 , the unrealized losses associated with our mortgage-backed securities ( “ MBS ” ) and ABS were attributable primarily to widening credit spreads and rising interest rates since purchase . We assessed for credit impairment using a cash flow model that incorporates key assumptions including default rates, severities and prepayment rates. We estimated losses for a security by forecasting the underlying loans in each transaction. The forecasted loan performance was used to project cash flows to the various tranches in the structure, as applicable. Our forecasted cash flows also considered, as applicable, independent industr y analyst reports and forecasts and other independent market data. Based upon our assessment of the expected credit losses of the security given the performance of the underlying collateral compared to our subordination or other credit enhancement, we expected to recover the entire amortized cost of each temporarily-impaired security. As of March 31, 2017 , the unrealized losses associated with our hybrid and redeemable preferred securities were attributable primarily to wider credit spreads caused by illiquidity in the market and subordination within the capital structure, as well as credit risk of underlying issuers. For our hybrid and redeemable preferred securities, we evaluated the financial performance of the underlying issuers based upon credit performance and investment ratings and determined that we expected to recover the entire amortized cost of each temporarily-impaired security. Changes in the amount of credit loss of OTTI recognized in net income (loss) where the portion related to other factors was recognized in OCI (in millions) on fixed maturity AFS securities were as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Balance as of beginning-of-year $ 430 $ 382 Increases attributable to: Credit losses on securities for which an OTTI was not previously recognized 1 35 Credit losses on securities for which an OTTI was previously recognized 3 5 Decreases attributable to: Securities sold, paid down or matured (41 ) (9 ) Balance as of end-of-period $ 393 $ 413 During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , we recorded credit losses on securities for which an OTTI was not previously recognized as we determined the cash flows expected to be collected would not be sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the debt security. The credit losses we recorded on securities for which an OTTI was not previously recognized were attributable primarily to one or a combination of the following reasons: · Failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled payments; · Deterioration of creditworthiness of the issuer; · Deterioration of conditions specifically related to the security; · Deterioration of fundamentals of the industry in which the issuer operates; and · Deterioration of the rating of the security by a rating agency. We recognize the OTTI attributed to the noncredit portion as a separate component in OCI referred to as unrealized OTTI on AFS securities. Details of the amount of credit loss of OTTI recognized in net income (loss) for which a portion related to other factors was recognized in OCI (in millions), were as follows: As of March 31, 2017 Net Unrealized OTTI in Amortized Gain/(Loss) Fair Credit Cost Position Value Losses Corporate bonds $ 20 $ 5 $ 25 $ 39 ABS 205 17 222 112 RMBS 312 9 321 195 CMBS 22 1 23 39 CLOs 11 4 15 5 State and municipal bonds 1 - 1 3 Total $ 571 $ 36 $ 607 $ 393 As of December 31, 2016 Net Unrealized OTTI in Amortized Gain/(Loss) Fair Credit Cost Position Value Losses Corporate bonds $ 80 $ 5 $ 85 $ 77 ABS 212 13 225 112 RMBS 332 6 338 194 CMBS 29 1 30 39 CLOs 11 4 15 5 State and municipal bonds 2 - 2 3 Total $ 666 $ 29 $ 695 $ 430 Mortgage Loans on Real Estate See Note 1 in our 2016 Form 10-K for information regarding our accounting policy relating to mortgage loans on real estate. Mortgage loans on real estate principally involve commercial real estate. The commercial loans are geographically diversified throughout the U.S. with the largest concentrations in California and Texas, which accounted for 20% and 11% , respectively, of mortgage loans on real estate as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016. The following provides the current and past due composition of our mortgage loans on real estate (in millions): As of As of March 31, December 31, 2017 2016 Current $ 10,000 $ 9,888 60 to 90 days past due - - Greater than 90 days past due 2 2 Valuation allowance associated with impaired mortgage loans on real estate (2 ) (2 ) Unamortized premium (discount) 1 1 Total carrying value $ 10,001 $ 9,889 The number of impaired mortgage loans on real estate, each of which had an associated specific valuation allowance, and the carrying value of impaired mortgage loans on real estate (dollars in millions) were as follows: As of As of March 31, December 31, 2017 2016 Number of impaired mortgage loans on real estate 2 2 Principal balance of impaired mortgage loans on real estate $ 7 $ 7 Valuation allowance associated with impaired mortgage loans on real estate (2 ) (2 ) Carrying value of impaired mortgage loans on real estate $ 5 $ 5 The changes in the valuation allowance associated with impaired mortgage loans on real estate (in millions) were as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Balance as of beginning-of-year $ 2 $ 2 Additions - - Charge-offs, net of recoveries - - Balance as of end-of-period $ 2 $ 2 Additional information related to impaired mortgage loans on real estate (in millions) was as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Average carrying value for impaired mortgage loans on real estate $ 5 $ 6 Interest income recognized on impaired mortgage loans on real estate - - Interest income collected on impaired mortgage loans on real estate - - As described in Note 1 in our 2016 Form 10-K, we use the loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios as credit quality indicators for our mortgage loans, which were as follows (dollars in millions): As of March 31, 2017 As of December 31, 2016 Debt- Debt- Service Service Carrying % of Coverage Carrying % of Coverage Loan-to-Value Ratio Value Total Ratio Value Total Ratio Less than 65% $ 8,873 88.7% 2.16 $ 8,709 88.0% 2.16 65% to 74% 968 9.7% 1.89 1,009 10.2% 1.87 75% to 100% 155 1.5% 0.82 166 1.7% 0.82 Greater than 100% 5 0.1% 1.04 5 0.1% 1.04 Total mortgage loans on real estate $ 10,001 100.0% $ 9,889 100.0% Alternative Investments As of March 31, 2017 , and December 31, 201 6 , alternative investments included investments in 199 and 202 different partnerships, respectively, and the portfolios represented approximately 1 % of our overall invested assets. Realized Gain (Loss) Related to Certain Investments The detail of the realized gain (loss) related to certain investments (in millions) was as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Fixed maturity AFS securities: (1) Gross gains $ 8 $ 54 Gross losses (12 ) (98 ) Equity AFS securities: Gross gains 1 - Gross losses - - Gain (loss) on other investments (3 ) (60 ) Associated amortization of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL and changes in other contract holder funds (7 ) (3 ) Total realized gain (loss) related to certain investments, pre-tax $ (13 ) $ (107 ) (1) These amounts are represented net of related fair value hedging activity. See Note 5 for more information. Details underlying write-downs taken as a result of OTTI (in millions) that were recognized in net income (loss) and included in realized gain (loss) on AFS securities above, and the portion of OTTI recognized in OCI (in millions) were as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 OTTI Recognized in Net Income (Loss) Fixed maturity securities: Corporate bonds $ (2 ) $ (36 ) ABS (1 ) (2 ) RMBS (1 ) (2 ) Gross OTTI recognized in net income (loss) (4 ) (40 ) Associated amortization of DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL - 4 Net OTTI recognized in net income (loss), pre-tax $ (4 ) $ (36 ) Portion of OTTI Recognized in OCI Gross OTTI recognized in OCI $ - $ 26 Change in DAC, VOBA, DSI and DFEL - (6 ) Net portion of OTTI recognized in OCI, pre-tax $ - $ 20 Determination of Credit Losses on Corporate Bonds and ABS As of March 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , we reviewed our corporate bond and ABS portfolios for potential shortfall in contractual principal and interest based on numerous subjective and objective inputs. The factors used to determine the amount of credit loss for each individual security, include, but are not limited to, near term risk, substantial discrepancy between book and market value, sector or company-specific volatility, negative operating trends and trading levels wider than peers. Credit ratings express opinions about the credit quality of a security. Securities rated investment grade, that is those rated BBB- or higher by Standard & Poor’s ( “ S&P ” ) Rating Services or Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service ( “ Moody’s ” ), are generally considered by the rating agencies and market participants to be low credit risk. As of March 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , 96% and 9 5% , respectively, of the fair value of our corporate bond portfolio was rated investment grade. As of March 31, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , the portion of our corporate bond portfolio rated below investment grade had an amortized cost of $ 3.6 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively, and a fair value of $ 3.5 billion and $ 3.7 billion, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 201 6, 96% of the fair value of our ABS portfolio was rated investment grade. As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016 , the portion of our ABS portfolio rated below investment grade had an amortized cost of $ 87 million and $ 91 million, respectively, and a fair value of $74 million and $ 75 million, respectively. Based upon the analysis discussed above, we believe as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016 , that we would recover the amortized cost of each fixed maturity security. Determination of Credit Losses on MBS As of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016 , default rates were projected by considering underlying MBS loan performance and collateral type. Projected default rates on existing delinquencies vary between 10% to 100% depending on loan type and severity of delinquency status. In addition, we estimate the potential contributions of currently performing loans that may become delinquent in the future based on the change in delinquencies and loan liquidations experienced in the recent history. Finally, we develop a default rate timing curve by aggregating the defaults for all loans in the pool (delinquent loans, foreclosure and real estate owned and new delinquencies from currently performing loans) and the associated loan-level loss severities. We use certain available loan characteristics such as lien status, loan sizes and occupancy to estimate the loss severity of loans. Second lien loans are assigned 100% severity, if defaulted. For first lien loans, we assume a minimum of 30% severity with higher severity assumed for investor properties and further adjusted by housing price assumptions. With the default rate timing curve and loan-level loss severity, we derive the future expected credit losses. Payables for Collateral on Investments The carrying value of the payables for collateral on investments (in millions) included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and the fair value of the related investments or collateral consisted of the following: As of March 31, 2017 As of December 31, 2016 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Value Value Value Value Collateral payable for derivative investments (1) $ 923 $ 923 $ 894 $ 894 Securities pledged under securities lending agreements (2) 127 123 216 209 Securities pledged under repurchase agreements (3) 536 588 535 589 Investments pledged for Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis (“FHLBI”) (4) 3,500 5,205 3,350 4,947 Total payables for collateral on investments $ 5,086 $ 6,839 $ 4,995 $ 6,639 (1) We obtain collateral based upon contractual provisions with our counterparties. These agreements take into consideration the counterparties’ credit rating as compared to ours, the fair value of the derivative investments and specified thresholds that if exceeded result in the receipt of cash that is typically invested in cash and invested cash. See Note 5 for additional information. (2) Our pledged securities under securities lending agreements are included in fixed maturity AFS securities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We generally obtain collateral in an amount equal to 102 % and 105 % of the fair value of the domestic and foreign securities, respectively. We value collateral daily and obtain additional collateral when deemed appropriate. The cash received in our securities lending program is typically invested in cash and invested cash or fixed maturity AFS securities. (3) Our pledged securities under repurchase agreements are included in fixed maturity AFS securities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We obtain collateral in an amount equal to 95 % of the fair value of the securities, and our agreements with third parties contain contractual provisions to allow for additional collateral to be obtained when necessary. The cash received in our repurchase program is typically invested in fixed maturity AFS securities. (4) Our pledged investments for FHLBI are included in fixed maturity AFS securities and mortgage loans on real estate on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The collateral requirements are generally 105 % to 115 % of the fair value for fixed maturity AFS securities and 155 % to 175 % of the fair value for mortgage loans on real estate. The cash received in these transactions is primarily invested in cash and invested cash or fixed maturity AFS securities. Increase (decrease) in payables for collateral on investments (in millions) consisted of the following: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Collateral payable for derivative investments $ 29 $ 772 Securities pledged under securities lending agreements (89 ) 4 Securities pledged under repurchase agreements 1 (166 ) Investments pledged for FHLBI 150 (250 ) Total increase (decrease) in payables for collateral on investments $ 91 $ 360 We have elected not to offset our repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions in our financial statements. The remaining contractual maturities of repurchase agreements and securities lending transactions accounted for as secured borrowings were as follows: As of March 31, 2017 Overnight and Continuous Up to 30 Days 30 - 90 Days Greater Than 90 Days Total Repurchase Agreements Corporate bonds $ - $ - $ 386 $ 150 $ 536 Total - - 386 150 536 Securities Lending Corporate bonds 127 - - - 127 Total 127 - - - 127 Total gross secured borrowings $ 127 $ - $ 386 $ 150 $ 663 As of December 31, 2016 Overnight and Continuous Up to 30 Days 30 - 90 Days Greater Than 90 Days Total Repurchase Agreements Corporate bonds $ - $ - $ 389 $ 146 $ 535 Total - - 389 146 535 Securities Lending Corporate bonds 212 - - - 212 Foreign government bonds 4 - - - 4 Total 216 - - - 216 Total gross secured borrowings $ 216 $ - $ 389 $ 146 $ 751 We accept collateral in the form of securities in connection with repurchase agreements.

Derivative Instruments | 5. Derivative Instruments We maintain an overall risk management strategy that incorporates the use of derivative instruments to minimize significant unplanned fluctuations in earnings that are caused by interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange risk, equity market risk, default risk, basis risk and credit risk. See Note 1 in our 2016 Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of the accounting treatment for derivative instruments. See Note 6 in our 2016 Form 10-K for a detailed discussion of our derivative instruments and use of them in our overall risk management strategy, which information is incorporated herein by reference. See Note 12 for additional disclosures related to the fair value of our derivative instruments and Note 3 for derivative instruments related to our consolidated VIEs. We have derivati ve instruments with off-balance- sheet risks whose notional or contract amounts exceed the related credit exposure.

This reclassification would be due primarily to interest rate variances related to our interest rate swap agreements. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , there were no material reclassifications to earnings due to hedged firm commitments no longer deemed probable or due to hedged forecasted transactions that had not occurred by the end of the originally specified time period.

(4) Sellers do not have the right to demand indemnification or compensation from third parties in case of a loss (payment) on the contract. (5) These credit default swaps were sold to a counterparty of the consolidated VIEs discussed in Note 4 in our 2016 Form 10-K. (6) Credit default swaps were entered into in order to generate income by providing default protection in return for a quarterly payment. Details underlying the associated collateral of our credit default sw aps for which we are the seller if credit risk - related contingent features were triggered (in millions) were as follows: As of As of March 31, December 31, 2017 2016 Maximum potential payout $ 56 $ 40 Less: Counterparty thresholds - - Maximum collateral potentially required to post $ 56 $ 40 Certain of our credit default swap agreements contain contractual provisions that allow for the netting of collateral with our counterparties related to all of our collateralized financing transactions that we have outstanding. If these netting agreements were not in place, we would have been required to post less than $ 1 million of collateral as of March 31, 2017 . Credit Risk We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by our counterparties on various derivative contracts and reflect assumptions regarding the credit or non-performance risk (“NPR”). The NPR is based upon assumptions for each counterparty’s credit spread over the estimated weighted average life of the counterparty exposure less collateral held. As of March 31, 2017 , the NPR adjustment was less than $ 1 million . The credit risk associated with such agreements is minimized by entering into agreements with financial institutions with long-standing, superior performance records. Additionally, we maintain a policy of requiring derivative contracts to be governed by an International Swaps and Derivatives Association ( “ ISDA ” ) Master Agreement. We are required to maintain minimum ratings as a matter of routine practice in negotiating ISDA agreements. Under some ISDA agreements, our insurance subsidiaries have agreed to maintain certain financial strength or claims-paying ratings. A downgrade below these levels could result in termination of derivative contracts, at which time any amounts payable by us would be dependent on the market value of the underlying derivative contracts. In certain transactions, we and the counterparty have entered into a credit support annex requiring either party to post collateral when net exposures exceed pre-determined thresholds. These thresholds vary by counterparty and credit rating. The amount of such exposure is essentially the net replacement cost or market value less collateral held for such agreements with each counterparty if the net market value is in our favor. As of March 31, 2017 , our exposure was $ 4 million . The amounts recognized (in mi llions) by S&P credit rating of counterparty, for which we had the right to reclaim cash collateral or were obligated to return cash collateral , were as follows: As of March 31, 2017 As of December 31, 2016 Collateral Collateral Collateral Collateral Posted by Posted by Posted by Posted by S&P Counter- LNC Counter- LNC Credit Party (Held by Party (Held by Rating of (Held by Counter- (Held by Counter- Counterparty LNC) Party) LNC) Party) AA- $ 74 $ - $ 53 $ (32 ) A+ 32 (212 ) 10 (217 ) A 495 (277 ) 466 (381 ) A- 59 - 67 - BBB+ 262 - 298 - $ 922 $ (489 ) $ 894 $ (630 ) Balance Sheet Offsetting Information related to the effects of offsetting on our Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions) was as follows: As of March 31, 2017 Embedded Derivative Derivative Instruments Instruments Total Financial Assets Gross amount of recognized assets $ 1,532 $ 226 $ 1,758 Gross amounts offset (541 ) - (541 ) Net amount of assets 991 226 1,217 Gross amounts not offset: Cash collateral (922 ) - (922 ) Net amount $ 69 $ 226 $ 295 Financial Liabilities Gross amount of recognized liabilities $ 589 $ 1,288 $ 1,877 Gross amounts offset (105 ) - (105 ) Net amount of liabilities 484 1,288 1,772 Gross amounts not offset: Cash collateral (489 ) - (489 ) Net amount $ (5 ) $ 1,288 $ 1,283 As of December 31, 2016 Embedded Derivative Derivative Instruments Instruments Total Financial Assets Gross amount of recognized assets $ 1,470 $ - $ 1,470 Gross amounts offset (543 ) - (543 ) Net amount of assets 927 - 927 Gross amounts not offset: Cash collateral (894 ) - (894 ) Net amount $ 33 $ - $ 33 Financial Liabilities Gross amount of recognized liabilities $ 1,089 $ 1,563 $ 2,652 Gross amounts offset (536 ) - (536 ) Net amount of liabilities 553 1,563 2,116 Gross amounts not offset: Cash collateral (630 ) - (630 ) Net amount $ (77 ) $ 1,563 $ 1,486 |

Federal Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Federal Income Taxes | 6 . Federal Income Taxes The effective tax rate is the ratio of tax expense over pre-tax income (loss). The effective tax rate was 8 % and 10% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The amount previously reported for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was updated due to the October 1, 2016, adoption of ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. For more information, see Note 2 in our 2016 Form 10-K. The effective tax rate on pre-tax income from continuing operations was significantly lower than the prevailing corporate federal income tax rate. Differences in the effective rates and the U.S. statutory rate of 35 % were the result of the separate accounts dividends-received deduction, certain tax preferred investment income , foreign tax credits a nd other tax preference items. |

Guaranteed Benefit Features | 7. Guaranteed Benefit Features Information on the guaranteed death benefit (“GDB”) features outstanding (dollars in millions) was as follows: As of As of March 31, December 31, 2017 (1) 2016 (1) Return of Net Deposits Total account value $ 90,582 $ 87,707 Net amount at risk (2) 348 824 Average attained age of contract holders 63 years 63 years Minimum Return Total account value $ 106 $ 105 Net amount at risk (2) 20 22 Average attained age of contract holders 75 years 75 years Guaranteed minimum return 5% 5% Anniversary Contract Value Total account value $ 25,359 $ 24,605 Net amount at risk (2) 553 782 Average attained age of contract holders 70 years 69 years (1) Our variable contracts with guarantees may offer more than one type of guarantee in each contract; therefore, the amounts listed are not mutually exclusive. (2) Represents the amount of death benefit in excess of the account balance that is subject to market fluctuations. The determination of GDB liabilities is based on models that involve a range of scenarios and assumptions, including those regarding expected market rates of return and volatility, contract surrender rates and mortality experience. The following summarizes the balances of and changes in the liabilities for GDBs (in millions), which were recorded in future contract benefits on our Consolidated Balance Sheets: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Balance as of beginning-of-year $ 110 $ 115 Changes in reserves (5 ) 15 Benefits paid (6 ) (14 ) Balance as of end-of-period $ 99 $ 116 Variable Annuity Contracts Account balances of variable annuity contracts, including those with guarantees, (in millions) were invested in separate account investment options as follows: As of As of March 31, December 31, 2017 2016 Asset Type Domestic equity $ 54,433 $ 52,244 International equity 18,131 17,396 Bonds 27,564 27,532 Money market 12,992 12,010 Total $ 113,120 $ 109,182 Percent of total variable annuity separate account values 99% 99% Secondary Guarantee Products Future contract benefits and other contract holder funds include reserves for our secondary guarantee products sold through our Life Insurance segment. These UL and VUL products with secondary guarantees represented 34% and 35% of total life insurance in-force reserves as of March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016 , respectively. UL and VUL products with secondary guarantees represented 26% and 29% of total sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. |

Contingencies and Commitments [Abstract] | |
Contingencies and Commitments | 8. Contingencies and Commitments Regulatory bodies, such as state insurance departments, the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and other regulatory bodies regularly make inquiries and conduct examinations or investigations concerning our compliance with, among other things, insurance laws, securities laws, laws governing the activities of broker-dealers, registered investment advisors and unclaimed property laws. LNC is involved in various pending or threatened legal or regulatory proceedings, including purported class actions, arising from the conduct of business both in the ordinary course and otherwise. In some of the matters, very large and/or indeterminate amounts, including punitive and treble damages, are sought. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. Jurisdictions may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the trial court. In addition, jurisdictions may permit plaintiffs to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding verdicts obtained in the jurisdiction for similar matters. This variability in pleadings, together with the actual experiences of LNC in litigating or resolving through settlement numerous claims over an extended period of time, demonstrates to management that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value. Due to the unpredictable nature of litigation, the outcome of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time is normally difficult to ascertain. Uncertainties can include how fact finders will evaluate documentary evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of witness testimony, and how trial and appellate courts will apply the law in the context of the pleadings or evidence presented, whether by motion practice, or at trial or on appeal. Disposition valuations are also subject to the uncertainty of how opposing parties and their counsel will themselves view the relevant evidence and applicable law. We establish liabilities for litigation and regulatory loss contingencies when information related to the loss contingencies shows both that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. It is possible that some matters could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures or establish accruals in amounts that could not be estimated as of March 31, 2017 . While the potential future charges could be material in the particular quarterly or annual periods in which they are recorded, based on information currently known by management, management does not believe any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on LNC’s financial condition. For some matters, the Company is able to estimate a reasonably possible range of loss. For such matters in which a loss is probable, an accrual has been made. For such matters where a loss is believed to be reasonably possible, but not probable, no accrual has been made. Accordingly, the estimate contained in this paragraph reflects two types of matters. For some matters included within this estimate, an accrual has been made, but there is a reasonable possibility that an exposure exists in excess of the amount accrued. In these cases, the estimate reflects the reasonably possible range of loss in excess of the accrued amount. For other matters included within this estimation, no accrual has been made because a loss, while potentially estimable, is believed to be reasonably possible but not probable. In these cases, the estimate reflects the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. As of March 3 1 , 201 7 , we estimate the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses to be up to approximately $ 50 million. For other matters, we are not currently able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. We are often unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from other parties and investigation of factual allegations, rulings by the court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts and the progress of settlement negotiations. On a quarterly and annual basis, we review relevant information with respect to litigation contingencies and update our accruals, disclosures and estimates of reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews . Cost of Insurance Litigation In re: Lincoln National COI Litigation , pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Master File No. 16-cv-06605-GJP, is a consolidated litigation matter related to multiple putative class action filings that were consolidated by an order dated March 20, 2017. In addition to consolidating a number of existing ma tters, the order also covers any future filed cases in the same district related to the same subject matter. Plaintiffs own universal life insurance policies originally issued by Jefferson Pilot (now Lincoln). Plaintiffs allege that The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company breached the terms of policyholders’ contracts when it increased non-guaranteed cost of ins urance rates beginning in 2016. Plaintiffs seek to represent classes of policyowners and seek damages on their behalf. We are vigorously defending this matter. See Note 13 in our 201 6 Form 10-K for additional discussion of commitments and contingencies, which information is incorporated herein by reference. |

We have updated certain previously reported interim results and metrics as of January 1, 2016, in accordance with the new guidance. For more information, see Note 1 – Earnings Per Share in our 2016 Form 10-K. Our common stock is without par value. Average Shares A reconciliation of the denominator (number of shares) in the calculations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share was as follows: For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017 2016 Weighted-average shares, as used in basic calculation 225,619,803 241,676,363 Shares to cover exercise of outstanding warrants 1,023,429 1,101,947 Shares to cover non-vested stock (1) 1,675,799 1,063,150 Average stock options outstanding during the period 2,681,129 1,806,644 Assumed acquisition of shares with assumed proceeds from exercising outstanding warrants (150,236 ) (291,520 ) Assumed acquisition of shares with assumed proceeds and benefits from exercising stock options (at average market price for the period) (1) (1,619,156 ) (1,299,510 ) Shares repurchasable from measured but unrecognized stock option expense (77,078 ) (1,103 ) Average deferred compensation shares 949,815 1,039,929 Weighted-average shares, as used in diluted calculation (1) 230,103,505 245,095,900 (1) Effective October 1, 2016, we early adopted ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. We have updated certain previously reported interim results and metrics as of January 1, 2016, in accordance with the new guidance. For more information, see Note 1 – Earnings Per Share in our 2016 Form 10-K. In the event the average market price of LNC common stock exceeds the issue price of stock options and the options have a dilutive effect to our earnings per share (“EPS”), such options will be shown in the table above. We have participants in our deferred compensation plans who selected LNC stock as the measure for the investment return attributable to all or a portion of their deferral amounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , the effect of settling this obligation in LNC stock (“equity classification”) was more dilutive than the scenario of settling in cash (“liability classification”). Therefore, for our EPS calculation for these periods, we added these shares to the denominator and adjusted the numerator to present net income as if the shares had been accounted for under equity classification by removing the mark-to-market adjustment included in net income attributable to these deferred units of LNC stock. The amount of this adjustment was less than $1 million and $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , and 2016 , respectively.

Valuation Methodologies and Associated Inputs for Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value The following discussion outlines the methodologies and assumptions used to determine the fair value of our financial instruments not carried at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Considerable judgment is required to develop these assumptions used to measure fair value. Accordingly, the estimates shown are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a one-time, current market exchange of all of our financial instruments. Mortgage Loans on Real Estate The fair value of mortgage loans on real estate is established using a discounted cash flow method based on credit rating, maturity and future income. The ratings for mortgages in good standing are based on property type, location, market conditions, occupancy, debt-service coverage, loan-to-value, quality of tenancy, borrower and payment record. The fair value for impaired mortgage loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our mortgage loans on real estate are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Other Investments The carrying value of our assets classified as other investments approximates fair value. Other investments includes primarily LPs and other privately held investments that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and the carrying value is based on our proportional share of the net assets of the LPs. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our LPs and other privately held investments are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Other investments also includes securities that are not LPs or other privately held investments and the inputs used to measure the fair value of these securities are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other Contract Holder Funds Other contract holder funds include remaining guaranteed interest and similar contracts and account values of certain investment contracts. The fair value for the remaining guaranteed interest and similar contracts is estimated using discounted cash flow calculations as of the balance sheet date. These calculations are based on interest rates currently offered on similar contracts with maturities that are consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued. As of March 31, 2017 , and December 31 , 2016 , the r emaining guaranteed interest and similar contracts carrying value approximated fair value. The fair value of the account values of certain investment contracts is based on their approximate surrender value as of the balance sheet date. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our other contract holder funds are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. Short-Term and Long-Term Debt The fair value of short-term and long-term debt is based on quoted market prices. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our short-term and long-term debt are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value We did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair valu e on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2017 , o r December 31, 201 6 , and we noted no changes in our valuation methodologies between these periods. The following summarizes our financial instruments carried at fair value (in millions) on a recurring basis by the fair value hierarchy levels described in “ Summary of Significant Accounting Policies ” in Note 1 of our 20 16 Fo rm 10-K: As of March 31, 2017 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Significant Significant Identical Observable Unobservable Total Assets Inputs Inputs Fair (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Value Assets Investments: Fixed maturity AFS securities: Corporate bonds $ - $ 76,376 $ 2,403 $ 78,779 ABS - 1,033 29 1,062 U.S. government bonds 562 9 5 576 Foreign government bonds - 346 110 456 RMBS - 3,574 7 3,581 CMBS - 383 44 427 CLOs - 688 88 776 State and municipal bonds - 4,825 1 4,826 Hybrid and redeemable preferred securities 66 474 79 619 Equity AFS securities 16 78 182 276 Trading securities 102 1,541 60 1,703 Derivative investments (1) - 1,077 560 1,637 Other investments 150 - - 150 Cash and invested cash - 1,923 - 1,923 Other assets: GLB direct embedded derivatives - - 226 226 GLB ceded embedded derivatives - - 116 116 Separate account assets 834 132,124 - 132,958 Total assets $ 1,730 $ 224,451 $ 3,910 $ 230,091 Liabilities Future contract benefits – indexed annuity and IUL contracts embedded derivatives $ - $ - $ (1,238 ) $ (1,238 ) Long-term debt - (1,118 ) - (1,118 ) Reinsurance related embedded derivatives - (50 ) - (50 ) Other liabilities: Derivative liabilities (1) - (369 ) (448 ) (817 ) Total liabilities $ - $ (1,537 ) $ (1,686 ) $ (3,223 ) As of December 31, 2016 Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Significant Significant Identical Observable Unobservable Total Assets Inputs Inputs Fair (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Value Assets Investments: Fixed maturity AFS securities: Corporate bonds $ - $ 74,659 $ 2,405 $ 77,064 ABS - 1,052 33 1,085 U.S. government bonds 408 11 - 419 Foreign government bonds - 395 111 506 RMBS - 3,611 3 3,614 CMBS - 343 7 350 CLOs - 676 68 744 State and municipal bonds - 4,627 - 4,627 Hybrid and redeemable preferred securities 60 468 76 604 VIEs’ fixed maturity securities - 200 - 200 Equity AFS securities 17 81 177 275 Trading securities 102 1,545 65 1,712 Derivative investments (1) - 1,406 599 2,005 Other investments 146 - - 146 Cash and invested cash - 2,722 - 2,722 Other assets – GLB ceded embedded derivatives - - 203 203 Separate account assets 863 127,534 - 128,397 Total assets $ 1,596 $ 219,330 $ 3,747 $ 224,673 Liabilities Future contract benefits – indexed annuity and IUL contracts embedded derivatives $ - $ - $ (1,139 ) $ (1,139 ) Long-term debt - (1,203 ) - (1,203 ) Reinsurance related embedded derivatives - (53 ) - (53 ) Other liabilities: Derivative liabilities (1) - (939 ) (692 ) (1,631 ) GLB direct embedded derivatives - - (371 ) (371 ) Total liabilities $ - $ (2,195 ) $ (2,202 ) $ (4,397 ) (1) Derivative investment assets and liabilities presented within the fair value hierarchy are presented on a gross basis by derivative type and not on a master netting basis by counterparty. The following summarizes changes to our financial instruments carried at fair value (in millions) and classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. This summary excludes any effect of amortization of deferred acquisition costs ( “ DAC ” ), value of business acquired ( “ VOBA ” ), deferred sales inducements ( “ DSI ” ) and deferred front-end loads ( “ DFEL ” ). The gains and losses below may include changes in fair value due in part to observable inputs that are a component of the valuation methodology.

For th e three months ended March 31 , 201 7 and 201 6 , transfers in and out of Level 3 were attributable primarily to the securities’ observable market information no longer being available or becoming available. Transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 are generally the result of a change in the type of input used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability at the end of the reporting period. When quoted prices in active markets become available, transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 will result. When quoted prices in active markets become unavailable, but we are able to employ a valuation methodology using significant observable inputs, transfers from Level 1 to Le vel 2 will result. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy were less than $1 million for our financial instruments carried at fa ir value. The following summarizes the fair value ( in millions), valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs of the Level 3 fair va lue measurements as of March 3 1 , 201 7 : Fair Valuation Significant Assumption or Value Technique Unobservable Inputs Input Ranges Assets Investments: Fixed maturity AFS and trading securities: Corporate bonds $ 1,795 Discounted cash flow Liquidity/duration adjustment (1) 0.6 % - 37.3 % ABS 25 Discounted cash flow Liquidity/duration adjustment (1) 3.0 % - 3.0 % Foreign government bonds 79 Discounted cash flow Liquidity/duration adjustment (1) 1.7 % - 3.3 % Hybrid and redeemable preferred securities 4 Discounted cash flow Liquidity/duration adjustment (1) 2.0 % - 2.0 % Equity AFS securities 24 Discounted cash flow Liquidity/duration adjustment (1) 4.5 % - 5.0 % Other assets – GLB direct and ceded embedded derivatives 342 Discounted cash flow Long-term lapse rate (2) 1 % - 30 % Utilization of guaranteed withdrawals (3) 85 % - 100 % Claims utilization factor (4) 60 % - 100 % Premiums utilization factor (4) 80 % - 115 % NPR (5) 0.02 % - 0.37 % Mortality rate (6) (8) Volatility (7) 1 % - 29 % Liabilities Future contract benefits – indexed annuity and IUL contracts embedded derivatives $ (1,238 ) Discounted cash flow Lapse rate (2) 1 % - 9 % Mortality rate (6) (8) (1) The liquidity /duration adjustment input represents an estimated market participant composite of adjustments attributable to liquidity premiums, expected durations, structures and credit quality that would be applied to the market observable information of an investment. (2) The lapse rate input represents the estimated probability of a contract surrendering during a year, and thereby forgoing any future benefits. The range for indexed annuity and IUL contracts represents the lapse rates during the surrender charge period. (3) The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals input represents the estimated percentage of contract holders that utilize the guaranteed withdrawal feature. (4) The utilization factors are applied to the present value of claims or premiums, as appropriate, in the GLB reserve calculation to estimate the impact of inefficient withdrawal behavior, including taking less than or more than the maximum guaranteed withdrawal. (5) The NPR input represents the estimated additional credit spread that market participants would apply to the market observable discount rate when pricing a contract. (6) The mortality rate input represents the estimated probability of when an individual belonging to a particular group, categorized according to age or some other factor such as gender, will die. (7) The volatility input represents overall volatilities assumed for the underlying variable annuity funds, which include a mixture of equity and fixed-income assets. Fair value of the variable annuity GLB embedded derivatives would increase if higher volatilities were used for valuation. (8) The mortality rate is based on a combination of company and industry experience, adjusted for improvement factors. From the table above, we have excluded Level 3 fair value measurements obtained from independent, third-party pricing sources. We do not develop the significant inputs used to measure the fair value of these assets and liabilities, and the information regarding the significant inputs is not readily available to us. Independent broker-quoted fair values are non-binding quotes developed by market makers or broker-dealers obtained from third-party sources recognized as market participants. The fair value of a broker-quoted asset or liability is based solely on the receipt of an updated quote from a single market maker or a broker-dealer recognized as a market participant as we do not adjust broker quotes when used as the fair value measurement for an asset or liability. Significant increases or decreases in any of the quotes received from a third-party broker-dealer may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in any of the significant inputs presented in the table above may result in a significant change in the fair value measurement of the asset or liability as follows: · Investments – An increase in the liquidity/duration adjustment input would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. · Indexed annuity and IUL contracts embedded derivatives – An increase in the lapse rate or mortality rate inputs would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement. · GLB embedded derivatives – Assuming our GLB direct embedded derivative is in a liability position, an increase in our lapse rate, NPR or mortality rate inputs would result in a decrease in the fair value measurement; and an increase in the utilization of guaranteed withdrawal or volatility inputs would result in an increase in the fair value measurement. Assuming our GLB ceded embedded derivative is in an asset position, the fair value measurement would move in the opposite direction from the GLB direct embedded derivative. For each category discussed above, the unobservable inputs are not inter-related; therefore, a directional change in one input will not affect the other inputs. As part of our ongoing valuation process, we assess the reasonable ness of our valuation techniques or models and make adjustments as necessary.

Segment Information [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | 13 . Segment Information We provide products and services and report results through our Annuities, Retirement Plan Services, Life Insurance and Group Protection segments. We also have Other Operations, which includes the financial data for operations that are not directly related to the business segments. Our reporting segments reflect the manner by which our chief operating decision makers view and manage the business. See Note 2 1 of our 2016 Form 10-K for a brief description of these segments and Other Operations. Segment operating revenues and income (loss) from operations are internal measures used by our management and Board of Directors to evaluate and assess the results of our segments. Income (loss) from operations is GAAP net income excluding the after-tax effects of the following items, as applicable: · Realized gains and losses associated with the following ( “ excluded realized gain (loss) ” ): § Sales or disposals and impairments of securities; § Changes in the fair value of derivatives, embedded derivatives within certain reinsurance arrangements and trading securities; § Changes in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge our GDB riders within our variable annuities; § Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives of our GLB riders reflected within variable annuity net derivative results accounted for at fair value; § Changes in the fair value of the derivatives we own to hedge our GLB riders reflected within variable annuity net derivative results; and § Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative liabilities related to index call options we may purchase in the future to hedge contract holder index allocations applicable to future reset periods for our indexed annuity products accounted for at fair value; · Changes in reserves resulting from benefit ratio unlocking on our GDB and GLB riders; · Income (loss) from reserve changes, net of related amortization, on business sold through reinsurance; · Gains (losses) on early extinguishment of debt; · Losses from the impairment of intangible assets; · Income (loss) from discontinued operations; and · Income (loss) from the initial adoption of new accounting standards. Operating revenues represent GAAP revenues excluding the pre-tax effects of the following items, as applicable: · Excluded realized gain (loss); · Revenue adjustments from the initial adoption of new accounting standards; · Amortization of DFEL arising from changes in GDB and GLB benefit ratio unlocking; and · Amortization of deferred gains arising from reserve changes on business sold through reinsurance. We use our prevailing corporate federal income tax rate of 35 % while taking into account any permanent differences for events recognized differently in our financial statements and federal income tax returns when reconciling our non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. Operating revenues and income (loss) from operations do not replace revenues and net income as the GAAP measures of our consolidated results of operations.

(2) The lapse rate input represents the estimated probability of a contract surrendering during a year, and thereby forgoing any future benefits. The range for indexed annuity and IUL contracts represents the lapse rates during the surrender charge period. (3) The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals input represents the estimated percentage of contract holders that utilize the guaranteed withdrawal feature. (4) The utilization factors are applied to the present value of claims or premiums, as appropriate, in the GLB reserve calculation to estimate the impact of inefficient withdrawal behavior, including taking less than or more than the maximum guaranteed withdrawal. (5) The NPR input represents the estimated additional credit spread that market participants would apply to the market observable discount rate when pricing a contract. (6) The mortality rate input represents the estimated probability of when an individual belonging to a particular group, categorized according to age or some other factor such as gender, will die. (7) The volatility input represents overall volatilities assumed for the underlying variable annuity funds, which include a mixture of equity and fixed-income assets. Fair value of the variable annuity GLB embedded derivatives would increase if higher volatilities were used for valuation. (8) The mortality rate is based on a combination of company and industry experience, adjusted for improvement factors. |
