Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract] | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Adoption of New Accounting Standards Income Taxes – Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting standards to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The update eliminates certain exceptions to: (1) accounting principles related to intra-period tax allocation to be applied on a prospective basis, (2) deferred tax liabilities related to outside basis differences to be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption, and (3) year-to-date losses in interim periods to be applied on a prospective basis. The update also amends existing guidance related to situations when an entity receives: (1) a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill to be applied on a prospective basis, (2) an allocation of income tax expense when members of a consolidated tax filing group issue separate financial statements to be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented, (3) interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes to be applied on a prospective basis, and (4) franchise taxes and other taxes partially based on income to be applied on a retrospective basis for all periods presented or a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2021. The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Fair Value Measurement – Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB updated the accounting standards related to disclosures for fair value measurements. The update eliminates the following disclosures: (1) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (2) the policy of timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy, and (3) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new disclosures include changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in OCI for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period and the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs and how the weighted average was calculated. The new disclosures are required on a prospective basis; all other provisions should be applied retrospectively. The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for the entire standard or only the provisions to eliminate or modify disclosure requirements. The Company early adopted the provisions of the standard to eliminate or modify disclosure requirements in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company adopted the provisions of the standard to include new disclosures on January 1, 2020. The update did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software – Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract In August 2018, the FASB updated the accounting standards related to customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement (“CCA”) that is a service contract. The update requires implementation costs for a CCA to be evaluated for capitalization using the same approach as implementation costs associated with internal-use software. The update also addresses presentation, measurement and impairment of capitalized implementation costs in a CCA that is a service contract. The update requires new disclosures on the nature of hosting arrangements that are service contracts, significant judgements made when applying the guidance and quantitative disclosures, including amounts capitalized, amortized and impaired. The update is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company adopted the standard using a prospective approach on January 1, 2020. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments In June 2016, the FASB updated the accounting standards related to accounting for credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. The update replaces the current incurred loss model for estimating credit losses with a new model that requires an entity to estimate the credit losses expected over the life of the asset. At adoption, the initial estimate of the expected credit losses will be recorded through retained earnings and subsequent changes in the estimate will be reported in current period earnings and recorded through an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet. The credit loss model for Available-for-Sale debt securities did not change; however, the credit loss calculation and subsequent recoveries are required to be recorded through an allowance. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. A modified retrospective cumulative adjustment to retained earnings should be recorded as of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective for loans, receivables, and other financial instruments subject to the new expected credit loss model. Prospective adoption is required for establishing an allowance related to Available-for-Sale debt securities, certain beneficial interests, and financial assets purchased with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. Future Adoption of New Accounting Standards Reference Rate Reform – Expedients for Contract Modifications In March 2020, the FASB updated the accounting standards to provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging or other transactions that are affected by reference rate reform (i.e., the elimination of LIBOR). The following expedients are provided for modified contracts whose reference rate is changed: (1) receivables and debt contracts are accounted for prospectively by adjusting the effective interest rate, (2) leases are accounted for as a continuation of the existing contracts with no reassessments of the lease classification and discount rate or remeasurements of lease payments that otherwise would be required, and (3) an entity is not required to reassess its original conclusion about whether that contract contains an embedded derivative that is clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract. The amendments in this update were effective upon issuance and must be elected prior to December 31, 2022. When elected, the optional expedients for contract modifications must be applied consistently for all eligible contracts or eligible transactions. In January 2021, FASB updated the standard to allow an entity to elect to apply the treatment under the original guidance to derivative instruments that use an interest rate that for margining, discounting or contract price alignment that will be modified due to reference rate reform but did not qualify under the original guidance. The Company has not yet applied any of the optional expedients. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. |

Revenue from Contracts with Customers [Text Block] | The following table presents disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers and a reconciliation to total revenues reported on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 (in millions) Policy and contract charges Affiliated $ 46 $ 41 Unaffiliated 4 3 Total 50 44 Other revenues Administrative fees Affiliated 12 11 Unaffiliated 4 4 16 15 Other fees Affiliated 95 86 Unaffiliated 1 1 96 87 Total 112 102 Total revenue from contracts with customers 162 146 Revenue from other sources (1) 886 823 Total revenues $ 1,048 $ 969 (1) Amounts primarily consist of revenue associated with insurance and annuity products or financial instruments. The following discussion describes the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from the Company’s contracts with customers. Policy and contract charges The Company earns revenue for providing distribution-related services to affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds that are available as underlying investments in its variable annuity and variable life insurance products. The performance obligation is satisfied at the time the mutual fund is distributed. Revenue is recognized over the time the mutual fund is held in the variable product and is generally earned based on a fixed rate applied, as a percentage, to the net asset value of the fund. The revenue is not recognized at the time of sale because it is variably constrained due to factors outside the Company’s control, including market volatility and how long the fund(s) remain in the insurance policy or annuity contract. The revenue will not be recognized until it is probable that a significant reversal will not occur. These fees are accrued and collected on a monthly basis. Other revenues Administrative fees The Company earns revenue for providing customer support, contract servicing and administrative services for affiliated and unaffiliated mutual funds that are available as underlying instruments in its variable annuity and variable life insurance products. The transfer agent and administration revenue is earned daily based on a fixed rate applied, as a percentage, to assets under management. These performance obligations are considered a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and are satisfied each day over the contract term. These fees are accrued and collected on a monthly basis. Other fees The Company earns revenue for providing affiliated and unaffiliated partners an opportunity to educate the financial advisors of its affiliate, Ameriprise Financial Services, LLC, that sell the Company's products as well as product and marketing personnel to support the offer, sale and servicing of funds within the Company's variable annuity and variable life insurance products. These payments allow the parties to train and support the advisors, explain the features of their products, and distribute marketing and educational materials. The affiliated revenue is earned based on a rate, updated at least annually, which is applied, as a percentage, to the market value of assets invested. The unaffiliated revenue is earned based on a fixed rate applied, as a percentage, to the market value of assets invested. These performance obligations are considered a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and are satisfied each day over the contract term. These fees are accrued and collected on a monthly basis. Receivables Receivables for revenue from contracts with customers are recognized when the performance obligation is satisfied and the Company has an unconditional right to the revenue. Receivables related to revenues from contracts with customers were $59 million and $57 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. |

Variable Interest Entity, Not Primary Beneficiary, Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities [Text Block] | Variable Interest Entities The Company provides asset management services to collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) which are considered to be VIEs that are sponsored by the Company. In addition, the Company invests in structured investments other than CLOs and certain affordable housing partnerships which are considered VIEs. The Company consolidates the CLOs if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company has no obligation to provide financial or other support to the non-consolidated VIEs beyond its initial investment and existing future funding commitments, and the Company has not provided any support to these entities. The Company has unfunded commitments related to consolidated CLOs of $20 million and $13 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. CLOs CLOs are asset backed financing entities collateralized by a pool of assets, primarily syndicated loans and, to a lesser extent, high-yield bonds. Multiple tranches of debt securities are issued by a CLO, offering investors various maturity and credit risk characteristics. The debt securities issued by the CLOs are non-recourse to the Company. The CLO’s debt holders have recourse only to the assets of the CLO. The assets of the CLOs cannot be used by the Company. Scheduled debt payments are based on the performance of the CLO’s collateral pool. The Company earns management fees from the CLOs based on the value of the CLO’s collateral pool and, in certain instances, may also receive incentive fees. The fee arrangement is at market and commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services. The Company has invested in a portion of the unrated, junior subordinated notes and highly rated senior notes of certain CLOs. The Company consolidates certain CLOs where it is the primary beneficiary and has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the CLO. Affordable Housing Partnerships and Other Real Estate Partnerships The Company is a limited partner in affordable housing partnerships that qualify for government-sponsored low income housing tax credit programs and partnerships that invest in multi-family residential properties that were originally developed with an affordable housing component. The Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary and therefore does not consolidate these partnerships. A majority of the limited partnerships are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investment in the VIEs is limited to the carrying value. The carrying value is reflected in other investments and was $187 million and $200 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company had a $9 million liability recorded as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 related to original purchase commitments not yet remitted to the VIEs. The Company has not provided any additional support and is not contractually obligated to provide additional support to the VIEs beyond the funding commitments. Structured Investments |

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued interest of $135 million and $158 million, respectively, is excluded from the amortized cost basis of Available-for-Sale securities in the tables above and is recorded in accrued investment income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investment securities with a fair value of $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, were pledged to meet contractual obligations under derivative contracts and short-term borrowings, of which $417 million and $454 million, respectively, may be sold, pledged or rehypothecated by the counterparty. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, fixed maturity securities comprised approximately 85% of the Company’s total investments. Rating agency designations are based on the availability of ratings from Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (“NRSROs”), including Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”). The Company uses the median of available ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch, or if fewer than three ratings are available, the lower rating is used. When ratings from Moody’s, S&P and Fitch are unavailable, the Company may utilize ratings from other NRSROs or rate the securities internally. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately $516 million and $553 million, respectively, of securities were internally rated by Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC, an affiliate of the Company, using criteria similar to those used by NRSROs. A summary of fixed maturity securities by rating was as follows: Ratings March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Amortized Cost Fair Value Percent of Total Fair Value Amortized Cost Fair Value Percent of Total Fair Value (in millions, except percentages) AAA $ 6,984 $ 7,252 33 % $ 7,323 $ 7,698 34 % AA 1,026 1,212 6 1,036 1,266 6 A 2,481 2,900 13 2,663 3,235 14 BBB 8,359 9,238 42 7,770 9,026 39 Below investment grade 1,303 1,429 6 1,468 1,630 7 Total fixed maturities $ 20,153 $ 22,031 100 % $ 20,260 $ 22,855 100 % As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, approximately 36% and 37%, respectively, of securities rated AAA were GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC mortgage backed securities. The Company had holdings of $356 million in Ameriprise Advisor Financing, LLC (“AAF”), an affiliate of the Company, which was greater than 10% of total equity as of March 31, 2021. The Company had holdings of $372 million in AAF, which was greater than 10% of total equity as of December 31, 2020. There were no other holdings of any other issuer greater than 10% of total equity as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The following tables summarize the fair value and gross unrealized losses on Available-for-Sale securities, aggregated by major investment type and the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for which no allowance for credit losses has been recorded: Description of Securities March 31, 2021 Less than 12 months 12 months or more Total Number of Securities Fair Value Unrealized Losses Number of Securities Fair Value Unrealized Losses Number of Securities Fair Value Unrealized Losses (in millions, except number of securities) Corporate debt securities 84 $ 1,948 $ (87) 2 $ 16 $ — 86 $ 1,964 $ (87) Residential mortgage backed securities 16 329 (7) 13 22 — 29 351 (7) Commercial mortgage backed securities 32 518 (10) 8 100 (1) 40 618 (11) State and municipal obligations 28 75 (2) 2 7 (1) 30 82 (3) Foreign government bonds and obligations 4 5 — 7 7 (1) 11 12 (1) Total 164 $ 2,875 $ (106) 32 $ 152 $ (3) 196 $ 3,027 $ (109) Description of Securities December 31, 2020 Less than 12 months 12 months or more Total Number of Securities Fair Value Unrealized Losses Number of Securities Fair Value Unrealized Losses Number of Securities Fair Value Unrealized Losses (in millions, except number of securities) Corporate debt securities 26 $ 228 $ (1) 1 $ 12 $ (1) 27 $ 240 $ (2) Residential mortgage backed securities 11 47 (1) 7 14 — 18 61 (1) Commercial mortgage backed securities 12 179 (3) 7 60 (1) 19 239 (4) State and municipal obligations 2 4 — 1 4 (1) 3 8 (1) Asset backed securities 4 65 — 2 36 (1) 6 101 (1) Foreign government bonds and obligations 1 3 — 7 8 (1) 8 11 (1) Total 56 $ 526 $ (5) 25 $ 134 $ (5) 81 $ 660 $ (10) As part of the Company’s ongoing monitoring process, management determined that the change in gross unrealized losses on its Available-for-Sale securities for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 is primarily attributable to higher interest rates, partially offset by tighter credit spreads. The Company did not recognize these unrealized losses in earnings because it was determined that such losses were due to non-credit factors. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and does not believe that it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost basis. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 81% and 83% respectively, of the total of Available-for-Sale securities with gross unrealized losses were considered investment grade. The following tables present a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses on Available-for-Sale securities: Corporate Debt Securities (in millions) Balance, January 1, 2021 $ 10 Charge-offs (10) Balance, March 31, 2021 $ — Balance at January 1, 2020 $ — Additions for which credit losses were not previously recognized 13 Balance at March 31, 2020 $ 13 Net realized gains and losses on Available-for-Sale securities, determined using the specific identification method, recognized in net realized investment gains (losses) were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 2020 (in millions) Gross realized investment gains $ 49 $ 6 Gross realized investment losses — (1) Credit losses — (13) Total $ 49 $ (8) There were no credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 primarily related to recording an allowance for credit losses on certain corporate debt securities, primarily in the oil and gas industry. See Note 14 for a rollforward of net unrealized investment gains (losses) included in AOCI. Available-for-Sale securities by contractual maturity as of March 31, 2021 were as follows: Amortized Cost Fair Value (in millions) Due within one year $ 453 $ 460 Due after one year through five years 4,445 4,734 Due after five years through 10 years 3,417 3,558 Due after 10 years 4,228 5,385 12,543 14,137 Residential mortgage backed securities 2,650 2,739 Commercial mortgage backed securities 3,896 4,052 Asset backed securities 1,064 1,103 Total $ 20,153 $ 22,031 Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and asset backed securities are not due at a single maturity date. As such, these securities were not included in the maturities distribution.

Receivables [Abstract] | |
Financing Receivables [Text Block] | Financing receivables are comprised of commercial loans, consumer loans, and the deposit receivable. Allowance for Credit Losses The following tables present a rollforward of the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31: Commercial Loans (in millions) Balance, January 1, 2021 $ 35 Provisions (2) Balance, March 31, 2021 $ 33 Commercial Loans (in millions) Balance, December 31, 2019 (1) $ 20 Cumulative effect of adoption of current expected credit losses guidance 3 Balance, January 1, 2020 23 Provisions 9 Balance, March 31, 2020 $ 32 (1) Prior to January 1, 2020, the allowance for credit losses was based on an incurred loss model that did not require estimating expected credit losses over the expected life of the asset. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued interest on commercial loans was $15 million and $14 million, respectively, and is recorded in accrued investment income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and excluded from the amortized cost basis of commercial loans. Purchases and Sales During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company purchased $9 million and $41 million, respectively, of syndicated loans, and sold $3 million and $7 million, respectively, of syndicated loans. The Company has not acquired any loans with deteriorated credit quality as of the acquisition date. Credit Quality Information Nonperforming loans were $2 million and $7 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. All other loans were considered to be performing. Commercial Loans Commercial Mortgage Loans The Company reviews the credit worthiness of the borrower and the performance of the underlying properties in order to determine the risk of loss on commercial mortgage loans. Loan-to-value ratio is the primary credit quality indicator included in this review. Based on this review, the commercial mortgage loans are assigned an internal risk rating, which management updates when credit risk changes. Commercial mortgage loans which management has assigned its highest risk rating were less than 1% of total commercial mortgage loans as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Loans with the highest risk rating represent distressed loans which the Company has identified as impaired or expects to become delinquent or enter into foreclosure within the next six months. Total commercial mortgage loan modifications through March 31, 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic consisted of 88 loans with a total unpaid balance of $ 360 million. Modifications primarily consisted of short-term forbearance and interest only payment s. As of March 31, 2021 , there was one loan remaining that was modified due to COVID-19 with interest only payments with an unpaid balance of $10 million. All other loans returned to their normal payment schedules. Total commercial mortgage loans past due were nil as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The tables below present the amortized cost basis of commercial mortgage loans by year of origination and loan-to-value ratio: March 31, 2021 Loan-to-Value Ratio 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 Prior Total (in millions) > 100% $ — $ — $ — $ 2 $ — $ 15 $ 17 80% - 100% — 15 19 8 3 22 67 60% - 80% 13 77 148 27 33 174 472 40% - 60% 7 27 44 83 132 661 954 < 40% — 7 28 58 95 871 1,059 Total $ 20 $ 126 $ 239 $ 178 $ 263 $ 1,743 $ 2,569 December 31, 2020 Loan-to-Value Ratio 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 Prior Total (in millions) > 100% $ — $ — $ 2 $ — $ — $ 10 $ 12 80% - 100% 15 16 9 3 7 15 65 60% - 80% 85 152 27 29 46 141 480 40% - 60% 20 50 74 147 111 543 945 < 40% 7 22 69 88 58 856 1,100 Total $ 127 $ 240 $ 181 $ 267 $ 222 $ 1,565 $ 2,602 Loan-to-value ratio is based on income and expense data provided by borrowers at least annually and long-term capitalization rate assumptions based on property type. In addition, the Company reviews the concentrations of credit risk by region and property type. Concentrations of credit risk of commercial mortgage loans by U.S. region were as follows: Loans Percentage March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 (in millions) South Atlantic $ 658 $ 663 26 % 25 % Pacific 774 784 30 30 Mountain 228 234 9 10 West North Central 189 192 7 7 East North Central 247 250 10 10 Middle Atlantic 163 165 6 6 West South Central 154 156 6 6 New England 46 47 2 2 East South Central 110 111 4 4 2,569 2,602 100 % 100 % Less: allowance for loan losses 28 28 Total $ 2,541 $ 2,574 Concentrations of credit risk of commercial mortgage loans by property type were as follows: Loans Percentage March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 (in millions) Retail $ 834 $ 843 33 % 32 % Office 346 358 13 14 Apartments 678 680 26 26 Industrial 395 401 15 16 Mixed use 75 76 3 3 Hotel 49 49 2 2 Other 192 195 8 7 2,569 2,602 100 % 100 % Less: allowance for loan losses 28 28 Total $ 2,541 $ 2,574 Syndicated Loans The recorded investment in syndicated loans as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $420 million and $446 million, respectively. The Company’s syndicated loan portfolio is diversified across industries and issuers. Total syndicated loans past due were nil and $2 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The Company assigns an internal risk rating to each syndicated loan in its portfolio ranging from 1 through 5, with 5 reflecting the lowest quality. The tables below present the amortized cost basis of syndicated loans by origination year and internal risk rating: March 31, 2021 Internal Risk Rating 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 Prior Total (in millions) Risk 5 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 2 $ 2 Risk 4 — — — 1 5 5 11 Risk 3 — 2 6 10 13 27 58 Risk 2 4 21 38 41 51 34 189 Risk 1 3 14 22 35 41 45 160 Total $ 7 $ 37 $ 66 $ 87 $ 110 $ 113 $ 420 December 31, 2020 Internal Risk Rating 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 Prior Total (in millions) Risk 5 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 2 $ 2 Risk 4 — — 3 7 — 7 17 Risk 3 — 7 6 19 10 18 60 Risk 2 23 42 45 51 10 32 203 Risk 1 14 25 35 43 17 30 164 Total $ 37 $ 74 $ 89 $ 120 $ 37 $ 89 $ 446 Policy Loans Policy loans do not exceed the cash surrender value at origination. As there is minimal risk of loss related to policy loans, there is no allowance for credit losses. Deposit Receivable The deposit receivable was $1.4 billion as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The deposit receivable is fully collateralized by the fair value of the assets held in a trust. Based on management’s evaluation of the nature of the underlying assets and the potential for changes in the collateral value, there was no allowance for credit losses for the deposit receivable as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Insurance [Abstract] | |
Variable Annuity and Insurance Guarantees | The majority of the variable annuity contracts offered by the Company contain guaranteed minimum death benefit (“GMDB”) provisions. The Company also offers variable annuities with death benefit provisions that gross up the amount payable by a certain percentage of contract earnings, which are referred to as gain gross-up (“GGU”) benefits. In addition, the Company offers contracts with GMWB and GMAB provisions. The Company previously offered contracts containing guaranteed minimum income benefit (“GMIB”) provisions. Certain UL policies offered by the Company provide secondary guarantee benefits. The secondary guarantee ensures that, subject to specified conditions, the policy will not terminate and will continue to provide a death benefit even if there is insufficient policy value to cover the monthly deductions and charges. The following table provides information related to variable annuity guarantees for which the Company has established additional liabilities: Variable Annuity Guarantees by Benefit Type (1) March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Total Contract Value Contract Value in Separate Accounts Net Amount at Risk Weighted Average Attained Age Total Contract Value Contract Value in Separate Accounts Net Amount at Risk Weighted Average Attained Age (in millions, except age) GMDB: Return of premium $ 67,317 $ 65,396 $ 7 68 $ 66,874 $ 64,932 $ 5 68 Five/six-year reset 8,211 5,486 7 68 8,116 5,386 6 68 One-year ratchet 6,093 5,765 13 71 6,094 5,763 8 71 Five-year ratchet 1,437 1,383 1 67 1,436 1,381 — 67 Other 1,267 1,249 45 74 1,261 1,243 45 73 Total — GMDB $ 84,325 $ 79,279 $ 73 68 $ 83,781 $ 78,705 $ 64 68 GGU death benefit $ 1,196 $ 1,139 $ 168 72 $ 1,183 $ 1,126 $ 162 71 GMIB $ 187 $ 174 $ 5 71 $ 187 $ 173 $ 6 71 GMWB: GMWB $ 1,949 $ 1,944 $ 1 74 $ 1,972 $ 1,967 $ 1 74 GMWB for life 50,389 50,316 209 69 50,142 50,057 185 69 Total — GMWB $ 52,338 $ 52,260 $ 210 69 $ 52,114 $ 52,024 $ 186 69 GMAB $ 2,187 $ 2,186 $ — 61 $ 2,291 $ 2,291 $ — 61 (1) Individual variable annuity contracts may have more than one guarantee and therefore may be included in more than one benefit type. Variable annuity contracts for which the death benefit equals the account value are not shown in this table. The net amount at risk for GMDB, GGU and GMAB is defined as the current guaranteed benefit amount in excess of the current contract value. The net amount at risk for GMIB is defined as the greater of the present value of the minimum guaranteed annuity payments less the current contract value or zero. The net amount at risk for GMWB is defined as the greater of the present value of the minimum guaranteed withdrawal payments less the current contract value or zero. The following table provides information related to insurance guarantees for which the Company has established additional liabilities: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Net Amount at Risk Weighted Average Attained Age Net Amount at Risk Weighted Average Attained Age (in millions, except age) UL secondary guarantees $ 6,573 67 $ 6,587 67 The net amount at risk for UL secondary guarantees is defined as the current guaranteed death benefit amount in excess of the current policyholder account balance.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block | GAAP defines fair value 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; that is, an exit price. The exit price assumes the asset or liability is not exchanged subject to a forced liquidation or distressed sale. Valuation Hierarchy The Company categorizes its fair value measurements according to a three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used by the Company’s valuation techniques. A level is assigned to each fair value measurement based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date. Level 2 Prices or valuations based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 3 Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. The following tables present the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis: March 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) Assets Available-for-Sale securities: Corporate debt securities $ — $ 11,821 $ 807 $ 12,628 Residential mortgage backed securities — 2,730 9 2,739 Commercial mortgage backed securities — 4,052 — 4,052 State and municipal obligations — 1,264 — 1,264 Asset backed securities — 724 379 1,103 Foreign government bonds and obligations — 245 — 245 Total Available-for-Sale securities — 20,836 1,195 22,031 Cash equivalents 1,504 692 — 2,196 Other assets: Interest rate derivative contracts — 1,003 — 1,003 Equity derivative contracts 333 3,543 — 3,876 Foreign exchange derivative contracts 1 17 — 18 Credit derivative contracts — 26 — 26 Total other assets 334 4,589 — 4,923 Separate account assets at net asset value (“NAV”) 88,433 (1) Total assets at fair value $ 1,838 $ 26,117 $ 1,195 $ 117,583 Liabilities Policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims: Fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives $ — $ 4 $ 52 $ 56 IUL embedded derivatives — — 949 949 GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives — — 715 715 (2) Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives — — 124 124 Total policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims — 4 1,840 1,844 (3) Other liabilities: Interest rate derivative contracts 1 485 — 486 Equity derivative contracts 149 3,132 — 3,281 Foreign exchange derivative contracts 1 — — 1 Total other liabilities 151 3,617 — 3,768 Total liabilities at fair value $ 151 $ 3,621 $ 1,840 $ 5,612 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) Assets Available-for-Sale securities: Corporate debt securities $ — $ 12,107 $ 766 $ 12,873 Residential mortgage backed securities — 2,993 9 3,002 Commercial mortgage backed securities — 4,166 — 4,166 State and municipal obligations — 1,344 — 1,344 Asset backed securities — 817 395 1,212 Foreign government bonds and obligations — 257 — 257 U.S. government and agency obligations 1 — — 1 Total Available-for-Sale securities 1 21,684 1,170 22,855 Cash equivalents 2,419 713 — 3,132 Other assets: Interest rate derivative contracts 1 1,754 — 1,755 Equity derivative contracts 406 3,578 — 3,984 Foreign exchange derivative contracts 1 17 — 18 Credit derivative contracts — 1 — 1 Total other assets 408 5,350 — 5,758 Separate account assets at NAV 87,556 (1) Total assets at fair value $ 2,828 $ 27,747 $ 1,170 $ 119,301 Liabilities Policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims: Fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives $ — $ 3 $ 49 $ 52 IUL embedded derivatives — — 935 935 GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives — — 2,316 2,316 (4) Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives — — 70 70 Total policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims — 3 3,370 3,373 (5) Other liabilities: Interest rate derivative contracts — 734 — 734 Equity derivative contracts 182 3,329 — 3,511 Foreign exchange derivative contracts 2 — — 2 Credit derivative contracts — 1 — 1 Total other liabilities 184 4,064 — 4,248 Total liabilities at fair value $ 184 $ 4,067 $ 3,370 $ 7,621 (1) Amounts are comprised of certain financial instruments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

The increase (decrease) to pretax income of the Company’s adjustment for nonperformance risk on the fair value of its embedded derivatives was $(167) million and $1.8 billion, net of DAC, DSIC, unearned revenue amortization and the reinsurance accrual for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Securities transferred from Level 3 primarily represent securities with fair values that are obtained from a third-party pricing service with observable inputs. The following tables provide a summary of the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements developed by the Company or reasonably available to the Company of Level 3 assets and liabilities: March 31, 2021 Fair Value Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Range Weighted Average (in millions) Corporate debt securities (private placements) $ 806 Discounted cash flow Yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries (1) 0.9% – 2.9% 1.3% Asset backed securities $ 379 Discounted cash flow Annual default rate 5.6% 5.6% Loss severity 25.0% 25.0% Yield/spread to swap rates (2) 175 bps – 300 bps 183 bps IUL embedded derivatives $ 949 Discounted cash flow Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps Fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives $ 52 Discounted cash flow Surrender rate (4) 0.0% – 50.0% 1.6% Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives $ 715 Discounted cash flow Utilization of guaranteed withdrawals (5) (6) 0.0% – 48.0% 10.6% Surrender rate (4) 0.1% – 73.5% 3.9% Market volatility (7) (8) 4.2% – 17.0% 10.8% Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives $ 124 Discounted cash flow Surrender rate (4) 0.8% – 40.0% 0.9% Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps December 31, 2020 Fair Value Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Range Weighted Average (in millions) Corporate debt securities (private placements) $ 766 Discounted cash flow Yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries (1) 1.0% – 3.3% 1.5% Asset backed securities $ 395 Discounted cash flow Annual default rate 5.3% 5.3% Loss severity 25.0% 25.0% Yield/spread to swap rates (2) 250 bps – 400 bps 259 bps IUL embedded derivatives $ 935 Discounted cash flow Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps Fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives $ 49 Discounted cash flow Surrender rate (4) 0.0% – 50.0% 1.2% Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives $ 2,316 Discounted cash flow Utilization of guaranteed withdrawals (5) (6) 0.0% – 48.0% 10.6% Surrender rate (4) 0.1% – 73.5% 3.8% Market volatility (7) (8) 4.3% – 17.1% 11.0% Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives $ 70 Discounted cash flow Surrender rate (4) 0.8% – 40.0% 0.9% Nonperformance risk (3) 65 bps 65 bps (1) The weighted average for the spread to U.S. Treasuries for corporate debt securities (private placements) is weighted based on the security’s market value as a percentage of the aggregate market value of the securities. (2) The weighted average for the spread to swap rates for asset backed securities is calculated as the sum of each tranche’s balance multiplied by its spread to swap divided by the aggregate balances of the tranches. (3) The nonperformance risk is the spread added to the observable interest rates used in the valuation of the embedded derivatives. (4) The weighted average surrender rate is weighted based on the benefit base of each contract and represents the average assumption in the current year including the effect of a dynamic surrender formula. (5) The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals represents the percentage of contractholders that will begin withdrawing in any given year. (6) The weighted average utilization rate represents the average assumption for the current year, weighting each policy evenly. The calculation excludes policies that have already started taking withdrawals. (7) Market volatility is implied volatility of fund of funds and managed volatility funds. (8) The weighted average market volatility represents the average volatility across all contracts, weighted by the size of the guaranteed benefit. Level 3 measurements not included in the table above are obtained from non-binding broker quotes where unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value calculation are not reasonably available to the Company. Uncertainty of Fair Value Measurements Significant increases (decreases) in the yield/spread to U.S. Treasuries used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 corporate debt securities in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the annual default rate used in the fair value measurement of Level 3 asset backed securities in isolation, generally, would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement and significant increases (decreases) in loss severity in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the yield/spread to swap rates in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in nonperformance risk used in the fair value measurement of the IUL embedded derivatives in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in nonperformance risk and surrender rate used in the fair value measurements of the fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives and structured variable annuity embedded derivatives in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) liability value. Significant increases (decreases) in utilization and volatility used in the fair value measurement of the GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives in isolation would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) liability value. Significant increases (decreases) in nonperformance risk and surrender rate used in the fair value measurement of the GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) liability value. Utilization of guaranteed withdrawals and surrender rates vary with the type of rider, the duration of the policy, the age of the contractholder, the distribution channel and whether the value of the guaranteed benefit exceeds the contract accumulation value. Determination of Fair Value The Company uses valuation techniques consistent with the market and income approaches to measure the fair value of its assets and liabilities. The Company’s market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The Company’s income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future projected cash flows to a single discounted present value amount. When applying either approach, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. The following is a description of the valuation techniques used to measure fair value and the general classification of these instruments pursuant to the fair value hierarchy. Assets Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents include time deposits and other highly liquid investments with original or remaining maturities at the time of purchase of 90 days or less. Actively traded money market funds are measured at their NAV and classified as Level 1. U.S. Treasuries are also classified as Level 1. The Company’s remaining cash equivalents are classified as Level 2 and measured at amortized cost, which is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short time between the purchase of the instrument and its expected realization. Available-for-Sale Securities When available, the fair value of securities is based on quoted prices in active markets. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are obtained from third-party pricing services, non-binding broker quotes, or other model-based valuation techniques. Level 1 securities primarily include U.S. Treasuries. Level 2 securities primarily include corporate bonds, residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities, state and municipal obligations, asset backed securities and foreign government securities. The fair value of these Level 2 securities is based on a market approach with prices obtained from third-party pricing services. Observable inputs used to value these securities can include, but are not limited to, reported trades, benchmark yields, issuer spreads and non-binding broker quotes. Level 3 securities primarily include certain corporate bonds, non-agency residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and asset backed securities. The fair value of corporate bonds, non-agency residential mortgage backed securities, commercial mortgage backed securities and certain asset backed securities classified as Level 3 is typically based on a single non-binding broker quote. The underlying inputs used for some of the non-binding broker quotes are not readily available to the Company. The Company’s privately placed corporate bonds are typically based on a single non-binding broker quote. The fair value of affiliated asset backed securities is determined using a discounted cash flow model. Inputs used to determine the expected cash flows include assumptions about discount rates and default, prepayment and recovery rates of the underlying assets. Given the significance of the unobservable inputs to this fair value measurement, the fair value of the investment in the affiliated asset backed securities is classified as Level 3. In consideration of the above, management is responsible for the fair values recorded on the financial statements. Prices received from third-party pricing services are subjected to exception reporting that identifies investments with significant daily price movements as well as no movements. The Company reviews the exception reporting and resolves the exceptions through reaffirmation of the price or recording an appropriate fair value estimate. The Company also performs subsequent transaction testing. The Company performs annual due diligence of third-party pricing services. The Company’s due diligence procedures include assessing the vendor’s valuation qualifications, control environment, analysis of asset-class specific valuation methodologies, and understanding of sources of market observable assumptions and unobservable assumptions, if any, employed in the valuation methodology. The Company also considers the results of its exception reporting controls and any resulting price challenges that arise. Separate Account Assets The fair value of assets held by separate accounts is determined by the NAV of the funds in which those separate accounts are invested. The NAV is used as a practical expedient for fair value and represents the exit price for the separate account. Separate account assets are excluded from classification in the fair value hierarchy. Other Assets Derivatives that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, such as derivatives that are exchange-traded, are classified as Level 1 measurements. The variation margin on futures contracts is also classified as Level 1. The fair value of derivatives that are traded in less active over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets is generally measured using pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and equity index levels. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and include swaps and the majority of options. The counterparties’ nonperformance risk associated with uncollateralized derivative assets was immaterial as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. See Note 12 and Note 13 for further information on the credit risk of derivative instruments and related collateral. Liabilities Policyholder Account Balances, Future Policy Benefits and Claims There is no active market for the transfer of the Company’s embedded derivatives attributable to the provisions of certain variable annuity riders, fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL products. The Company values the embedded derivatives attributable to the provisions of certain variable annuity riders using internal valuation models. These models calculate fair value as the present value of future expected benefit payments less the present value of future expected rider fees attributable to the embedded derivative feature. The projected cash flows used by these models include observable capital market assumptions and incorporate significant unobservable inputs related to implied volatility as well as contractholder behavior assumptions that include margins for risk, all of which the Company believes a market participant would expect. The fair value also reflects a current estimate of the Company’s nonperformance risk specific to these embedded derivatives. Given the significant unobservable inputs to this valuation, these measurements are classified as Level 3. The embedded derivatives attributable to these provisions are recorded in policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with the provisions of its equity index annuity product. The projected cash flows generated by this model are based on significant observable inputs related to interest rates, volatilities and equity index levels and, therefore, are classified as Level 2. The Company uses discounted cash flow models including Black-Scholes calculations to determine the fair value of the embedded derivatives associated with the provisions of its fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL products. The structured variable annuity product is a limited flexible purchase payment annuity that offers 45 different indexed account options providing equity market exposure and a fixed account. Each indexed account includes a protection option (a buffer or a floor). If the index has a negative return, contractholder losses will be reduced by buffer or limited to a floor. The portion allocated to an indexed account is accounted for as an embedded derivative. The fair value of fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL embedded derivatives includes significant observable interest rates, volatilities and equity index levels and the significant unobservable estimate of the Company’s nonperformance risk. Given the significance of the nonperformance risk assumption to the fair value, the fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL embedded derivatives are classified as Level 3. The embedded derivatives attributable to these provisions are recorded in policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims. Other Liabilities Derivatives that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, such as derivatives that are exchange-traded, are classified as Level 1 measurements. The variation margin on futures contracts is also classified as Level 1. The fair value of derivatives that are traded in less active OTC markets is generally measured using pricing models with market observable inputs such as interest rates and equity index levels. These measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy and include swaps and the majority of options. The Company’s nonperformance risk associated with uncollateralized derivative liabilities was immaterial as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. See Note 12 and Note 13 for further information on the credit risk of derivative instruments and related collateral. Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis The Company assesses its investment in affordable housing partnerships for impairment. The investments that are determined to be impaired are written down to their fair value. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to measure the fair value of these investments. Inputs to the discounted cash flow model are estimates of future net operating losses and tax credits available to the Company and discount rates based on market condition and the financial strength of the syndicator (general partner). The balance of affordable housing partnerships measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis was $97 million and $101 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Asset and Liabilities Not Reported at Fair Value The following tables provide the carrying value and the estimated fair value of financial instruments that are not reported at fair value: March 31, 2021 Carrying Value Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) Financial Assets Mortgage loans, net $ 2,541 $ — $ — $ 2,627 $ 2,627 Policy loans 838 — 838 — 838 Other investments 434 — 397 36 433 Other receivables 1,411 — — 1,648 1,648 Financial Liabilities Policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims $ 10,499 $ — $ — $ 11,630 $ 11,630 Short-term borrowings 200 — 200 — 200 Long-term debt 500 — 449 — 449 Other liabilities 11 — — 11 11 Separate account liabilities — investment contracts 369 — 369 — 369 December 31, 2020 Carrying Value Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) Financial Assets Mortgage loans, net $ 2,574 $ — $ — $ 2,724 $ 2,724 Policy loans 846 — 846 — 846 Other investments 457 — 417 40 457 Other receivables 1,430 — — 1,732 1,732 Financial Liabilities Policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims $ 9,990 $ — $ — $ 11,686 $ 11,686 Short-term borrowings 200 — 200 — 200 Long-term debt 500 — 509 — 509 Other liabilities 12 — — 11 11 Separate account liabilities — investment contracts 351 — 351 — 351 Other investments include syndicated loans and the Company’s membership in the FHLB. Other receivables include the deposit receivable. See Note 6 for additional information on mortgage loans, policy loans, syndicated loans and the deposit receivable. Policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims includes fixed annuities in deferral status, non-life contingent fixed annuities in payout status, indexed and structured variable annuity host contracts, and the fixed portion of a small number of variable annuity contracts classified as investment contracts. See Note 8 for additional information on these liabilities. Short-term borrowings include FHLB borrowings. Long-term debt includes the surplus note with Ameriprise Financial. See Note 10 for further information on short-term borrowings and long-term debt. Other liabilities include future funding commitments to affordable housing partnerships and other real estate partnerships. Separate account liabilities are related to certain annuity products that are classified as investment contracts. |

Offsetting [Abstract] | |
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities [Text Block] | Certain financial instruments and derivative instruments are eligible for offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s derivative instruments are subject to master netting and collateral arrangements and qualify for offset. A master netting arrangement with a counterparty creates a right of offset for amounts due to and from that same counterparty that is enforceable in the event of a default or bankruptcy. The Company’s policy is to recognize amounts subject to master netting arrangements on a gross basis in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables present the gross and net information about the Company’s assets subject to master netting arrangements: March 31, 2021 Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets Gross Amounts Offset in the Amounts of Assets Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amount Financial Instruments (1) Cash Collateral Securities Collateral (in millions) Derivatives: OTC $ 4,638 $ — $ 4,638 $ (3,305) $ (1,073) $ (252) $ 8 OTC cleared 39 — 39 (39) — — — Exchange-traded 246 — 246 (107) (133) — 6 Total derivatives $ 4,923 $ — $ 4,923 $ (3,451) $ (1,206) $ (252) $ 14 December 31, 2020 Gross Amounts of Recognized Assets Gross Amounts Offset in the Amounts of Assets Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amount Financial Instruments (1) Cash Collateral Securities Collateral (in millions) Derivatives: OTC $ 5,391 $ — $ 5,391 $ (3,801) $ (1,243) $ (315) $ 32 OTC cleared 58 — 58 (25) — — 33 Exchange-traded 309 — 309 (90) (165) — 54 Total derivatives $ 5,758 $ — $ 5,758 $ (3,916) $ (1,408) $ (315) $ 119 (1) Represents the amount of assets that could be offset by liabilities with the same counterparty under master netting or similar arrangements that management elects not to offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables present the gross and net information about the Company’s liabilities subject to master netting arrangements: March 31, 2021 Gross Amounts of Recognized Liabilities Gross Amounts Offset in the Amounts of Liabilities Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amount Financial Instruments (1) Cash Collateral Securities Collateral (in millions) Derivatives: OTC $ 3,580 $ — $ 3,580 $ (3,305) $ (3) $ (258) $ 14 OTC cleared 76 — 76 (39) — — 37 Exchange-traded 112 — 112 (108) — — 4 Total derivatives $ 3,768 $ — $ 3,768 $ (3,452) $ (3) $ (258) $ 55 December 31, 2020 Gross Amounts of Recognized Liabilities Gross Amounts Offset in the Amounts of Liabilities Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Net Amount Financial Instruments (1) Cash Collateral Securities Collateral (in millions) Derivatives: OTC $ 4,129 $ — $ 4,129 $ (3,801) $ (1) $ (327) $ — OTC cleared 25 — 25 (25) — — — Exchange-traded 94 — 94 (90) — — 4 Total derivatives $ 4,248 $ — $ 4,248 $ (3,916) $ (1) $ (327) $ 4 (1) Represents the amount of liabilities that could be offset by assets with the same counterparty under master netting or similar arrangements that management elects not to offset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the tables above, the amount of assets or liabilities presented are offset first by financial instruments that have the right of offset under master netting or similar arrangements, then any remaining amount is reduced by the amount of cash and securities collateral. The actual collateral may be greater than amounts presented in the tables. When the fair value of collateral accepted by the Company is less than the amount due to the Company, there is a risk of loss if the counterparty fails to perform or provide additional collateral. To mitigate this risk, the Company monitors collateral values regularly and requires additional collateral when necessary. When the value of collateral pledged by the Company declines, it may be required to post additional collateral. Freestanding derivative instruments are reflected in other assets and other liabilities. Cash collateral pledged by the Company is reflected in other assets and cash collateral accepted by the Company is reflected in other liabilities. See Note 13 for additional disclosures related to the Company’s derivative instruments. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities [Text Block] | 13. Derivatives and Hedging Activities Derivative instruments enable the Company to manage its exposure to various market risks. The value of such instruments is derived from an underlying variable or multiple variables, including equity and interest rate indices or prices. The Company primarily enters into derivative agreements for risk management purposes related to the Company’s products and operations. Certain of the Company’s freestanding derivative instruments are subject to master netting arrangements. The Company’s policy on the recognition of derivatives on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is to not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivatives and collateral arrangements executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting arrangement. See Note 12 for additional information regarding the estimated fair value of the Company’s freestanding derivatives after considering the effect of master netting arrangements and collateral. Generally, the Company uses derivatives as economic hedges and accounting hedges. The following table presents the notional value and gross fair value of derivative instruments, including embedded derivatives: March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Notional Gross Fair Value Notional Gross Fair Value Assets (1) Liabilities (2)(3) Assets (1) Liabilities (2)(3) (in millions) Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments Interest rate contracts $ 79,798 $ 1,003 $ 486 $ 77,925 $ 1,755 $ 734 Equity contracts 50,327 3,876 3,281 55,993 3,984 3,511 Credit contracts 2,064 26 — 2,269 1 1 Foreign exchange contracts 2,580 18 1 3,124 18 2 Total non-designated hedges 134,769 4,923 3,768 139,311 5,758 4,248 Embedded derivatives GMWB and GMAB (4) N/A — 715 N/A — 2,316 IUL N/A — 949 N/A — 935 Fixed deferred indexed annuities N/A — 56 N/A — 52 Structured variable annuities N/A — 124 N/A — 70 Total embedded derivatives N/A — 1,844 N/A — 3,373 Total derivatives $ 134,769 $ 4,923 $ 5,612 $ 139,311 $ 5,758 $ 7,621 N/A Not applicable. (1) The fair value of freestanding derivative assets is included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (2) The fair value of freestanding derivative liabilities is included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of GMWB and GMAB, IUL, fixed deferred indexed annuity and structured variable annuity embedded derivatives is included in Policyholder account balances, future policy benefits and claims on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. (3) The fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities after considering the effects of master netting arrangements, cash collateral held by the same counterparty and the fair value of net embedded derivatives was $2.2 billion and $3.7 billion as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. See Note 12 for additional information related to master netting arrangements and cash collateral. (4) The fair value of the GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives as of March 31, 2021 included $980 million of individual contracts in a liability position and $265 million of individual contracts in an asset position. The fair value of the GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives as of December 31, 2020 included $2.4 billion of individual contracts in a liability position and $67 million of individual contracts in an asset position. See Note 11 for additional information regarding the Company’s fair value measurement of derivative instruments. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, investment securities with a fair value of $292 million and $325 million, respectively, were received as collateral to meet contractual obligations under derivative contracts, of which $292 million and $325 million, respectively, may be sold, pledged or rehypothecated by the Company. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had sold, pledged, or rehypothecated none of these securities. In addition, as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, non-cash collateral accepted was held in separate custodial accounts and was not included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables present a summary of the impact of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, including embedded derivatives, on the Consolidated Statements of Income: Net Investment Income Interest Credited to Fixed Accounts Benefits, Claims, Losses and Settlement Expenses (in millions) Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Interest rate contracts $ — $ — $ (1,825) Equity contracts 1 25 (310) Credit contracts — — 69 Foreign exchange contracts — — 11 GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives — — 1,600 IUL embedded derivatives — (9) — Fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives — (5) — Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives — — (75) Total gain (loss) $ 1 $ 11 $ (530) Interest Credited to Fixed Accounts Benefits, Claims, Losses and Settlement Expenses (in millions) Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Interest rate contracts $ — $ 2,515 Equity contracts (112) 1,993 Credit contracts — (36) Foreign exchange contracts — 44 GMWB and GMAB embedded derivatives — (2,513) IUL embedded derivatives 164 — Fixed deferred indexed annuity embedded derivatives 12 — Structured variable annuity embedded derivatives — 3 Total gain (loss) $ 64 $ 2,006 The Company holds derivative instruments that either do not qualify or are not designated for hedge accounting treatment. These derivative instruments are used as economic hedges of equity, interest rate, credit and foreign currency exchange rate risk related to various products and transactions of the Company. Certain annuity contracts contain GMWB or GMAB provisions, which guarantee the right to make limited partial withdrawals each contract year regardless of the volatility inherent in the underlying investments or guarantee a minimum accumulation value of consideration received at the beginning of the contract period, after a specified holding period, respectively. The indexed portion of structured variable annuities and the GMAB and non-life contingent GMWB provisions are considered embedded derivatives, which are bifurcated from their host contracts for valuation purposes and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The Company economically hedges the aggregate exposure related to the indexed portion of structured variable annuities and the GMAB and non-life contingent GMWB provisions using options, swaptions, swaps and futures. The deferred premium associated with certain of the above options and swaptions is paid or received semi-annually over the life of the contract or at maturity. The following is a summary of the payments the Company is scheduled to make and receive for these options and swaptions as of March 31, 2021: Premiums Payable Premiums Receivable (in millions) 2021 (1) $ 112 $ 85 2022 205 205 2023 51 42 2024 138 25 2025 125 22 2026 - 2028 262 88 Total $ 893 $ 467 (1) 2021 amounts represent the amounts payable and receivable for the period from April 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021. Actual timing and payment amounts may differ due to future settlements, modifications or exercises of the contracts prior to the full premium being paid or received. The Company has a macro hedge program to provide protection against the statutory tail scenario risk arising from variable annuity reserves on its statutory surplus and to cover some of the residual risks not covered by other hedging activities. As a means of economically hedging these risks, the Company may use a combination of futures, options, swaps and swaptions. Certain of the macro hedge derivatives may contain settlement provisions linked to both equity returns and interest rates. The Company’s macro hedge derivatives that contain settlement provisions linked to both equity returns and interest rates, if any, are shown in other contracts in the tables above. Fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL products have returns tied to the performance of equity markets. As a result of fluctuations in equity markets, the obligation incurred by the Company related to fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL products will positively or negatively impact earnings over the life of these products. The equity component of fixed deferred indexed annuity, structured variable annuity and IUL product obligations are considered embedded derivatives, which are bifurcated from their host contracts for valuation purposes and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. As a means of economically hedging its obligations under the provisions of these products, the Company enters into index options and futures contracts. Cash Flow Hedges During both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company held no derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges. During both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, no hedge relationships were discontinued due to forecasted transactions no longer being expected to occur according to the original hedge strategy. Credit Risk Credit risk associated with the Company’s derivatives is the risk that a derivative counterparty will not perform in accordance with the terms of the applicable derivative contract. To mitigate such risk, the Company has established guidelines and oversight of credit risk through a comprehensive enterprise risk management program that includes members of senior management. Key components of this program are to require preapproval of counterparties and the use of master netting and collateral arrangements whenever practical. See Note 12 for additional information on the Company’s credit exposure related to derivative assets. Certain of the Company’s derivative contracts contain provisions that adjust the level of collateral the Company is required to post based on the Company’s financial strength rating (or based on the debt rating of the Company’s parent, Ameriprise Financial). Additionally, certain of the Company’s derivative contracts contain provisions that allow the counterparty to terminate the contract if the Company does not maintain a specific financial strength rating or Ameriprise Financial’s debt does not maintain a specific credit rating (generally an investment grade rating). If these termination provisions were to be triggered, the Company’s counterparty could require immediate settlement of any net liability position. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate fair value of derivative contracts in a net liability position containing such credit contingent provisions was $261 million and $324 million, respectively. The aggregate fair value of assets posted as collateral for such instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $258 million and $324 million, respectively. If the credit contingent provisions of derivative contracts in a net liability position as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were triggered, the aggregate fair value of additional assets that would be required to be posted as collateral or needed to settle the instruments immediately would have been $3 million and nil on March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | 15. Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate was 9.1% and 8.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is lower than the statutory rate as a result of tax preferred items including low income housing tax credits, foreign tax credits and the dividends received deduction. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was lower than the statutory rate primarily due to previous tax law changes that resulted in a $160 million tax benefit related to the forecasted utilization of a 2020 net operating loss (“NOL”) that was to be applied to previous tax filings, low income housing tax credits, and other tax preferred items. The Company determined the NOL benefit was attributable to current year losses; accordingly, the benefit was recorded in the annual effective tax rate. Included in the Company’s deferred income tax assets are tax benefits related to state net operating losses of $9 million, net of federal benefit, which will expire beginning December 31, 2021. The Company is required to establish a valuation allowance for any portion of the deferred tax assets that management believes will not be realized. Significant judgment is required in determining if a valuation allowance should be established, and the amount of such allowance if required. Factors used in making this determination include estimates relating to the performance of the business. Consideration is given to, among other things in making this determination, (i) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, (ii) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, (iii) taxable income in prior carryback years, and (iv) tax planning strategies. Based on analysis of the Company’s tax position, management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations and implementation of tax planning strategies will not allow the Company to realize certain state deferred tax assets of $2 million and state net operating losses of $9 million; therefore, a valuation allowance of $11 million has been established as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $38 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits. If recognized, approximately $20 million, net of federal tax benefits, of unrecognized tax benefits as of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 would affect the effective tax rate. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months. The Company estimates that the total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $33 million in the next 12 months primarily due to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) settlements. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of the income tax provision. The Company recognized nil in interest and penalties for both the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a payable of $2 million related to accrued interest and penalties. The Company files income tax returns as part of its inclusion in the consolidated federal income tax returns of Ameriprise Financial in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The federal statute of limitations are closed on years through 2015, except for one issue for 2014 and 2015 which was claimed on amended returns. The IRS is currently auditing Ameriprise Financial’s U.S. income tax returns for 2016, 2017 and 2018. Ameriprise Financial’s or the Company’s state income tax returns are currently under examination by various jurisdictions for years ranging from 2010 through 2019. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies | Insurance companies have been the subject of increasing regulatory, legislative and judicial scrutiny. Numerous state and federal regulatory agencies have commenced examinations and other inquiries of insurance companies regarding sales and marketing practices (including sales to older consumers and disclosure practices), claims handling, and unclaimed property and escheatment practices and procedures. The Company has cooperated and will continue to cooperate with the applicable regulators. The Company is involved in the normal course of business in a number of other legal and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its business activities. The Company believes that it is not a party to, nor are any of its properties the subject of, any pending legal, arbitration or regulatory investigation, examination or proceeding that is likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that the outcome of any current or future legal, arbitration or regulatory proceeding could have a material impact on results of operations in any particular reporting period as the proceedings are resolved. Uncertain economic conditions, heightened and sustained volatility in the financial markets and significant financial reform legislation may increase the likelihood that clients and other persons or regulators may present or threaten legal claims or that regulators increase the scope or frequency of examinations of the Company or the insurance industry generally. RiverSource Life Insurance Company and RiverSource Life of NY are required by law to be a member of the guaranty fund association in every state where they are licensed to do business. In the event of insolvency of one or more unaffiliated insurance companies, the Company could be adversely affected by the requirement to pay assessments to the guaranty fund associations. The Company projects its cost of future guaranty fund assessments based on estimates of insurance company insolvencies provided by the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations (“NOLHGA”) and the amount of its premiums written relative to the industry-wide premium in each state. The Company accrues the estimated cost of future guaranty fund assessments when it is considered probable that an assessment will be imposed, the event obligating the Company to pay the assessment has occurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. The Company has a liability for estimated guaranty fund assessments and a related premium tax asset. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the estimated liability was $12 million. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the related premium tax asset was $10 million. The expected period over which guaranty fund assessments will be made and the related tax credits recovered is not known. |

(2) The weighted average for the spread to swap rates for asset backed securities is calculated as the sum of each tranche’s balance multiplied by its spread to swap divided by the aggregate balances of the tranches. (3) The nonperformance risk is the spread added to the observable interest rates used in the valuation of the embedded derivatives. (4) The weighted average surrender rate is weighted based on the benefit base of each contract and represents the average assumption in the current year including the effect of a dynamic surrender formula. (5) The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals represents the percentage of contractholders that will begin withdrawing in any given year. (6) The weighted average utilization rate represents the average assumption for the current year, weighting each policy evenly. The calculation excludes policies that have already started taking withdrawals. (7) Market volatility is implied volatility of fund of funds and managed volatility funds. (8) The weighted average market volatility represents the average volatility across all contracts, weighted by the size of the guaranteed benefit. |

[1] | The weighted average for the spread to U.S. Treasuries for corporate debt securities (private placements) is weighted based on the security’s market value as a percentage of the aggregate market value of the securities. | ||
[2] | The weighted average for the spread to swap rates for asset backed securities is calculated as the sum of each tranche’s balance multiplied by its spread to swap divided by the aggregate balances of the tranches. | ||
[3] | The nonperformance risk is the spread added to the observable interest rates used in the valuation of the embedded derivatives. | ||
[4] | The weighted average surrender rate is weighted based on the benefit base of each contract and represents the average assumption in the current year including the effect of a dynamic surrender formula. | ||
[5] | The utilization of guaranteed withdrawals represents the percentage of contractholders that will begin withdrawing in any given year. | ||
[6] | Market volatility is implied volatility of fund of funds and managed volatility funds. | ||
[7] | The weighted average utilization rate represents the average assumption for the current year, weighting each policy evenly. The calculation excludes policies that have already started taking withdrawals. | ||
