NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ITEMS IMPACTING BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND ITEMS IMPACTING BASIS OF PRESENTATION Overview: Union Security Insurance Company (the “Company”) is a provider of pre-funded funeral insurance ("preneed") products and accidental death and dismemberment policies. Prior to March 2016, the Company was also a provider of life and health insurance products, including group insurance products. In March 2016, Assurant, Inc. ("Assurant" or the "Parent") sold its Assurant Employee Benefits ("AEB") segment mainly through a series of reinsurance transactions with the United States branch of Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada ("Sun Life"), a subsidiary of Sun Life Financial Inc. The sale of AEB had a material impact to the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition of the Company. The Company's financial statements also reflect the assets, liabilities and activity associated with businesses that were sold through reinsurance and coinsurance arrangements. In 2001, Assurant entered into a reinsurance agreement with Talcott Resolution (formerly owned by The Hartford) for the sale of the Fortis Financial Group ("FFG") division. In 2000, the Company divested its Long-Term Care ("LTC") operations to John Hancock Life Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation ("John Hancock"). Assets supporting liabilities ceded relating to these businesses are mainly held in trusts and the separate accounts relating to FFG are still reflected in the Company's balance sheet. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent. The Parent’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "AIZ". The Company distributes its products in the District of Columbia and in all U.S. states except New York. Sale of Assurant Employee Benefits: As referenced above, on March 1, 2016, the Parent completed the sale of its Assurant Employee Benefits segment through a series of transactions with Sun Life. The transaction was primarily structured as a reinsurance arrangement, as well as the sale of certain legal entities that included a ceding commission and other consideration. The reinsurance transaction did not extinguish the Company's primary liability on the policies it has issued or assumed, thus any gains associated with the prospective component of the reinsurance transaction are deferred and amortized over the contract period, including contractual renewal periods, in proportion to the amount of insurance coverage provided. The Company also had an obligation to continue to write and renew certain policies for a period of time until Sun Life commenced policy writing and renewal. The Company was required to allocate the proceeds considering the relative fair value of transaction components. Most of the expected gains resulting from the transaction related to compensation for the in-force policies (prospective component), sales of net assets underlying the continuing business, as well as the future compensation for performance obligations to write and renew certain policies for a period of time. The terms "deferred gain" and "amortization of deferred gain" broadly reflect the multiple transaction elements and earnings thereof, inclusive of the expected and actual income resulting from the reinsurance subject to prospective accounting, income expected to be earned related to the deferred gains associated with long-duration contracts, and the expected recognition of deferred revenues associated with our performance obligations. The following represents a summary of the deferred gain related to Assurant Employee Benefits that was amortized within the Financial Statements: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Amortization of deferred gains $ 2.3 $ 13.6 $ 46.4 The remaining unamortized deferred gain related to Assurant Employee Benefits as of December 31, 2020 was $0.2 million. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Amounts are presented in United States of America (“U.S.”) dollars and all amounts are in millions, except for number of shares, per share amounts, number of securities and number of loans. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. The items affected by the use of estimates include but are not limited to, investments, reinsurance recoverables, other assets, future policy benefits and expenses, unearned premiums, claims and benefits payable, deferred gain on disposal of businesses, and commitments and contingencies. The estimates are sensitive to market conditions, investment yields, mortality, morbidity, commissions and other acquisition expenses, policyholder behavior and other factors. Actual results could differ from the estimates recorded. The Company believes all amounts reported are reasonable and adequate. Fair Value The Company uses an exit price for its fair value measurements. An exit price is defined as the amount received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In measuring fair value, the Company gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. See Note 5 for additional information. Investments Fixed maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale as defined in the investments guidance and are reported at fair value. If the fair value is higher than the amortized cost for fixed maturity securities, the excess is an unrealized gain; and, if lower than amortized cost, the difference is an unrealized loss. Net unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale, less deferred income taxes, are included in AOCI. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted certain changes to the accounting and reporting for impairments involving available for sale securities, including presentation of credit-related impairments as an allowance rather than as an other-than-temporary impairment, eliminating duration of unrealized losses as a consideration when assessing recognition of an impairment, recognition of credit impairments upon purchase of securities as applicable, and requiring reversals of previously recognized credit-related impairments when expectations for recovery improve. For available for sale fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for which the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost basis, changes to the credit rating of the security by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or geographic area, among other factors. If this assessment indicates a potential credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the security’s amortized cost basis. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit-related impairment exists, and a charge to income and an associated allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit-related impairment. Any impairment not related to credit losses is recorded through other comprehensive income. The amount of the allowance for credit losses is limited to the amount by which fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, credit loss expense. For fixed maturities where the Company records a credit loss, a determination is made as to the cause of the impairment and whether the Company expects a recovery in the value. Write-offs are charged against the allowance when management concludes the financial asset is uncollectible. For fixed maturities where the Company expects a recovery in value, the effective yield method is utilized, and the investment is amortized to par. For available for sale fixed maturity securities that the Company intends to sell, or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment loss, or difference between the fair value and amortized cost basis of the security, is recognized in net realized gains (losses). The new cost basis of the security is the previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized and is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in fair value. The Company reports receivables for accrued investment income separately from fixed maturities available for sale and elected not to measure allowances for credit losses for accrued investment income as uncollectible balances are written off in a timely manner. Equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net realized gains (losses) on investments on the Company’s statement of operations. Equity securities accounted for under the measurement alternative are impaired if a qualitative assessment based upon several indicators such as earnings performance, offers to sell or purchase, ability to continue as a going concern and macroeconomic factors indicates the equity investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. If a qualitative assessment indicates impairment a quantitative analysis which uses probability weighted potential outcomes is performed to determine the amount of the impairment to be recognized that result in a fair value measurement. Commercial mortgage loans on real estate are reported at unpaid principal balances, adjusted for amortization of premium or discount, less any allowance for credit losses. The allowance for the Company’s commercial mortgage loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, utilizing a probability-of default and loss given default methodologies, which incorporate various probability weighted economic scenarios. The probability of default is estimated using macroeconomic factors as well as individual loan characteristics, including loan-to-value (“LTV”) and debt service coverage ratios (“DSC”), loan term, collateral type, geography and underlying credit. The loss given default is driven primarily by the type and value of underlying collateral, and to a lesser extent by expected liquidation costs and time to recovery. Each loan is analyzed individually based on loan-specific data elements to estimate the expected loss and then aggregated. The Company places loans on nonaccrual status after 90 days of delinquent payments (unless the loans are secured and in the process of collection). A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status before this time if information is available that suggests collection is unlikely. The Company charges off loan and accrued interest balances that are deemed uncollectible. Charge offs are recorded to net income in the period deemed uncollectible. Refer to Note 3 for further details on the allowance for credit losses on commercial mortgage loans. Prior to January 1, 2020, the allowance for loan loss was based on management’s analysis of factors including actual loan loss experience, specific events based on geographical, political or economic conditions, industry experience, loan groupings that have probable and estimable losses and individually impaired loan loss analysis. A loan was considered individually impaired when it became probable that the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Indicative factors of impairment included, but were not limited to, whether the loan was current, the value of the collateral and the financial position of the borrower. If a loan was individually impaired, the Company used one of the following valuation methods based on the individual loan’s facts and circumstances to measure the impairment amount: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows,(2) the loan’s observable market price, or (3) the fair value of collateral. Changes in the allowance for loan losses was recorded in net realized losses on investments, excluding other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses. Other investments consist primarily of investments in joint ventures, partnerships and short-term investments. The joint ventures and partnerships are valued according to the equity method of accounting. In applying the equity method, the Company uses financial information provided by the investee, generally on a three-month lag. Short-term investments include securities and other investments with durations of one year or less, but greater than three months, between the date of purchase and maturity. These amounts are reported at cost or amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized on the specific identification basis. Investment income is recorded as earned and reported net of investment expenses. The Company uses the interest method to recognize interest income on its commercial mortgage loans. The Company anticipates prepayments of principal in the calculation of the effective yield for mortgage-backed securities and structured securities. The retrospective method is used to adjust the effective yield for the majority of the Company's mortgage-backed and structured securities. Total OTTI Losses Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company separated OTTI losses of a debt security into two components of credit and non-credit losses. For debt securities with credit losses and non-credit losses or gains, total OTTI losses was the total of the decline in fair value from either the most recent OTTI determination or a prior period end in which the fair value declined until the current period end valuation date. This amount did not include any securities that had fair value increases. For debt securities that the Company had either the intent to sell or it was more likely than not that it would be required to sell below amortized cost, total OTTI losses were the amount by which the fair value of the security was less than its amortized cost basis at the period end valuation date and the decline in fair value was deemed to be OTTI. The amount of the OTTI related to a credit loss was recognized in earnings, and the amount of the OTTI related to other, non-credit factors (e.g., interest rates, market conditions, etc.) was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The difference between the amortized cost of the security and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected represented a credit loss that was recognized in earnings. If the estimated fair value was less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected, this portion of OTTI represented a non-credit loss that was recorded in other comprehensive income. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid securities and other investments with durations of three months or less between the date of purchase and maturity to be cash equivalents. These amounts are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash balances are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine if negative cash balances exist. If negative cash balances exist, the cash accounts are netted with other positive cash accounts of the same bank provided the right of offset exists between the accounts. If the right of offset does not exist, the negative cash balances are reclassified to accounts payable and other liabilities. Reinsurance For both ceded and assumed reinsurance, risk transfer requirements must be met for reinsurance accounting to apply. If risk transfer requirements are not met, the contract is accounted for as a deposit, resulting in the recognition of cash flows under the contract through a deposit asset or liability and not as revenue or expense. To meet risk transfer requirements, a reinsurance contract must include both insurance risk, consisting of both underwriting and timing risk, and a reasonable possibility of a significant loss for the assuming entity. Similar risk transfer criteria are used to determine whether directly written insurance contracts should be accounted for as insurance or as a deposit. Reinsurance recoverables include amounts related to paid benefits and estimated amounts related to unpaid policy and contract claims, future policyholder benefits and policyholder contract deposits. The cost of reinsurance is recognized as a reduction to premiums earned over the terms of the underlying reinsured policies. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with claim and claim adjustment expense reserves or future policy benefits reserves and are reported in the balance sheets. The cost of reinsurance related to long-duration contracts is recognized over the life of the underlying reinsured policies. The ceding of insurance does not discharge the Company’s primary liability to insureds, thus a credit exposure exists to the extent that any reinsurer is unable to meet the obligation assumed in the reinsurance agreements. To mitigate this exposure to reinsurer insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and typically holds collateral (in the form of funds withheld, trusts and letters of credit) as security under the reinsurance agreements. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the expected credit loss model for reinsurance recoverables. The Company uses a probability of default and loss given default methodology in estimating the allowance, whereby the credit ratings of reinsurers are used in determining the probability of default. The allowance is established for reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid future policy benefits and claims and benefits. Prior to applying default factors, the net exposure to credit risk is reduced for any collateral for which the right of offset exists, such as funds withheld, assets held in trust and letters of credit, which are part of the reinsurance arrangements, with adjustments to include consideration of credit exposure on the collateral. The methodology used by the Company incorporates historical default factors for each reinsurer based on their credit rating using comparably rated bonds as published by a major ratings service. The allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing and other relevant factors. Prior to January 1, 2020, an allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded on the basis of periodic evaluations of balances due from reinsurers (net of collateral), reinsurer solvency, historical collection experience and current economic conditions. Prior to adoption of the expected credit loss model, the Company did not have an allowance for doubtful accounts balance for reinsurance recoverables. Reinsurance premiums assumed are calculated based upon payments received from ceding companies together with accrual estimates, which are based on both payments received and in-force policy information received from ceding companies. Any subsequent differences arising on such estimates are recorded in the period in which they are determined. Other Assets Other assets primarily includes prepaid items, deferred acquisition costs, value of business acquired in acquisitions and premiums and accounts receivable, net. Separate Accounts Assets and liabilities associated with separate accounts relate to premium and annuity considerations for variable life and annuity products for which the contract-holder, rather than the Company, bears the investment risk. Separate account assets (with matching liabilities) are reported at fair value. Revenues and expenses related to the separate account assets and liabilities, to the extent of benefits paid or provided to the separate account policyholders, are excluded from the amounts reported in the accompanying statements of operations because the underlying accounts involve investment-type annuity contracts and/or are subject to reinsurance. Reserves Reserves are established using generally accepted actuarial methods and reflect judgments about expected future premium and claim payments. Factors used in their calculation include experience derived from historical claim payments, expected future premiums and actuarial assumptions. Calculations incorporate assumptions about the incidence of incurred claims, the extent to which all claims have been reported, reporting lags, expenses, inflation rates, future investment earnings, internal claims processing costs and other relevant factors. The estimation of reserves includes an element of uncertainty given that management is using historical information and methods to project future events and reserve outcomes. The recorded reserves represent the Company's best estimate at a point in time of the ultimate costs of settlement and administration of a claim or group of claims based upon actuarial assumptions and projections using facts and circumstances known at the time of calculation. The adequacy of reserves may be impacted by future trends in claims severity, frequency, judicial theories of liability and other factors. These variables are affected by both external and internal events, including but not limited to changes in the economic cycle, inflation, natural or human-made catastrophes, judicial trends, legislative changes and claims handling procedures. Many of these items are not directly quantifiable and not all future events can be anticipated when reserves are established. Reserve estimates are refined as experience develops. Adjustments to reserves, both positive and negative, are reflected in the statement of operations in the period in which such estimates are updated. Because establishment of reserves is an inherently complex process involving significant judgment and estimates, there can be no certainty that future settlement amounts for claims incurred through the financial reporting date will not vary from reported claims reserves. Future loss development could require reserves to be increased or decreased, which could have a material effect on the Company's earnings in the periods in which such increases or decreases are made. However, based on information currently available, the Company believes its reserve estimates are adequate. The following table provides reserve information for our major product lines for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Claims and Benefits Claims and Benefits Future Unearned Case Incurred Future Unearned Case Incurred Long Duration Contracts: Global Preneed (1) $ 791.1 $ 22.2 $ 12.3 $ 2.8 $ 851.2 $ 24.0 $ 7.4 $ 2.4 Disposed and run-off businesses 2,121.1 13.8 505.2 55.3 2,107.3 15.0 477.3 47.6 Short Duration Contracts: Disposed and run-off businesses — 0.1 446.3 4.0 — 2.9 506.6 12.5 Credit disability — 0.1 — 0.5 — 0.1 — 0.7 Total $ 2,912.2 $ 36.2 $ 963.8 $ 62.6 $ 2,958.5 $ 42.0 $ 991.3 $ 63.2 (1) Global Preneed future policy benefits and expenses include reserves estimated using traditional reserving models calculated as the present value of future benefits to policyholders and related expenses, less the present value of future net premiums, of $771.5 million and $831.1 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The remaining future policy benefits and expenses primarily represent investment-type annuities and life insurance policies with discretionary benefits with account-value based reserves. For additional information regarding our reserves, see Note 10. Long Duration Contracts Future policy benefits and expense reserves for preneed investment-type annuities and preneed life insurance policies with discretionary death benefits, along with variable life insurance, universal life insurance and investment-type annuity contracts of the disposed and runoff businesses consist of policy account balances before applicable surrender charges and certain deferred policy initiation fees that are being recognized in income over the terms of the policies. Policy benefits charged to expense during the period include amounts paid in excess of policy account balances and interest credited to policy account balances. Unearned revenue reserves for the preneed life insurance contracts represent the balance of the excess of gross premiums over net premiums that is still recognized in future years’ income in a constant relationship to estimated gross profits. Future policy benefits and expense reserves for other preneed life insurance contracts are equal to the present value of future benefits to policyholders and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums. Reserve assumptions are selected using best estimates for inflation, mortality, margins and discount rates which are locked in unless a premium deficiency exists. These assumptions reflect current trends, are based on Company experience and include provision for adverse deviation. An unearned revenue reserve is also recorded for these contracts and represents the balance of the excess of gross premiums over net premiums that is still to be recognized in future years’ income in a constant relationship to insurance in force. Future policy benefits and expense reserves for other policies fully covered by reinsurance and certain life, annuity and group life conversion policies no longer offered are equal to the present value of future benefits to policyholders plus related expenses less the present value of the future net premiums. These amounts are estimated based on assumptions as to the discount, inflation, mortality, morbidity and withdrawal rates as well as other assumptions that are based on the Company’s experience. These assumptions reflect anticipated trends and include provisions for adverse deviations. Claims and benefits payable for policies fully covered by reinsurance and certain life, annuity, group life conversion, and medical insurance policies no longer offered are equal to the present value of future benefit payments and related expenses. These amounts are estimated based on assumptions as to inflation, mortality, morbidity and discount rates as well as other assumptions that are based on the Company's experience. Changes in the estimated liabilities are reported as a charge or credit to policyholder benefits as the estimates are updated. Short Duration Contracts The Company’s short duration contracts include accidental death products, former AEB group insurance contracts no longer offered and disposed of through reinsurance. For these contracts, claims and benefits payable reserves are recorded when insured events occur. The liability is based on the expected ultimate cost of settling the claims. The claims and benefits payable reserves include: (1) case reserves for known but unpaid claims as of the balance sheet date; (2) incurred but not reported ("IBNR") reserves for claims where the insured event has occurred but has not been reported to the Company as of the balance sheet date; and (3) loss adjustment expense reserves for the expected handling costs of settling the claims. Factors used in the calculation include experience derived from historical claim payments and actuarial assumptions including loss development factors and expected loss ratios. Changes in the estimated liabilities are recorded as a charge or credit to policyholder benefits as estimates are updated. Contingencies A loss contingency is recorded if reasonably estimable and probable. The Company establishes reserves for these contingencies at the best estimate, or if no one estimated amount within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated reserve at the low end of the estimated range. Contingencies affecting the Company primarily relate to legal and regulatory matters, which are inherently difficult to evaluate and are subject to significant changes. Premiums Long Duration Contracts For traditional life insurance policies previously sold by the Assurant Global Preneed business, revenue is recognized when due from policyholders. For investment-type annuity contracts previously sold by the Assurant Global Preneed business, revenues consist of charges assessed against policy balances. Premiums for the Company’s previously sold long-term care insurance and traditional life insurance contracts are recognized as revenue when due from the policyholder. For universal life insurance and investment-type annuity contracts, revenues consist of charges assessed against policy balances. All of these premiums (related to the Company’s former FFG and LTC businesses that were previously sold) are ceded. Short Duration Contracts The Company’s short duration contracts revenue is recognized over the contract term in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided. Fees and Other Income Income earned on preneed life insurance policies with discretionary death benefits is presented within fees and other income. Underwriting, General and Administrative Expenses Underwriting, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of commissions, premium taxes, licenses, fees, salaries and personnel benefits, amortization of deferred acquisition costs, amortization of value of business acquired and other general operating expenses. Income Taxes The Company reports its taxable income in a consolidated federal income tax return along with other affiliated subsidiaries of the Parent. Income tax expense or benefit is allocated among the affiliated subsidiaries by applying income tax rates to taxable income or loss determined on a separate return basis according to a tax allocation agreement. Entities with losses record current tax benefits to the extent such losses are utilized in the consolidated federal tax return. Current federal income taxes are recognized based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year. Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the Company expects the temporary differences to reverse. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that an amount will not be realized. The impact of changes in tax rates on all deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be reflected within income on the enactment date, regardless of the financial statement component where the deferred tax originated. The Company classifies net interest expense related to tax matters and any applicable penalties as a component of income tax expense. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is comprised of net income, and net unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available for sale, less deferred income taxes. Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Adopted Financial instruments measurement and classification : On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amended guidance on the measurement and classification of financial instruments whereby all common and preferred stocks are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through income. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings by $8.1 million, which represents a reclassification of the unrealized gains on common and preferred stock as of the date of adoption from AOCI. Classification of certain tax effects from AOCI: In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued amended guidance on reclassifying the stranded tax effects from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") from AOCI to retained earnings. During 2018, the Company adopted the new guidance and reclassified $(26.7) million from AOCI to retained earnings, with no impact on net income or total stockholders' equity. Accounting standards require the effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax liabilities or assets be included in net income in the reporting period that includes the enactment date, even though the related income tax effects may have been originally charged or credited to AOCI. The amounts reclassified relate to the difference between the original tax effect of items included in other comprehensive income, such as unrealized gains or losses on securities and the revised tax effects from the TCJA. We use a portfolio approach to release the stranded or disproportionate income tax effects in AOCI related to our available-for-sale securities. When the underlying portfolios are sold, mature, or are otherwise impaired on an other-than-temporary basis, the assigned portion of the disproportionate tax effect is reclassified from AOCI to income from continuing operations. Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments held at amortized cost (“CECL”) : In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, the amended guidance eliminates the probable recognition threshold and instead requires an entity to reflect the current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses are measured in a manner similar to accounting requirements in effect prior to adoption; however, the amended guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. Refer to Note 3 for additional information. Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted Targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that provides targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts. The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting benefit reserves will no longer be locked-in but must be updated at least annually with the impact of changes to the liability reflected in earnings (except for discount rates); the discount rate assumptions will be based on upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield instead of the earnings rate of invested assets; the discount rate must be evaluated at each reporting date and the impact of changes to the liability estimate as a result of updating the discount rate assumption is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income; the provision for adverse deviation is eliminated; and premium deficiency testing is eliminated. Other noteworthy changes include the following: differing models for amortizing deferred acquisition costs will become uniform for all long-duration contracts based on a constant rate over the expected term of the related in force contracts; all market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be reported at fair value with changes reflected in income except for changes related to credit risk which will be recognized in other comprehensive income; and disclosures will be expanded to include disaggregated roll forwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the amendments are applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the ea |

Allowance For Credit Losses | ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The Company adopted the expected credit loss standard using a modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. Results for the reporting periods beginning January 1, 2020 and after are presented under such method while prior period amounts are reported in accordance with previous applicable GAAP. The Company recorded a decrease of $1.3 million to retained earnings, net of tax, as of January 1, 2020 for the cumulative impact of adoption. The following table illustrates the impact of adoption: As of January 1, 2020 Prior to adoption As reported on adoption Impact of adoption Financial assets, at amortized cost: Reinsurance recoverables $ 3,260.1 $ 3,258.4 $ (1.7) Total $ 3,260.1 3,258.4 (1.7) Tax effect 0.4 Cumulative effect of adoption $ (1.3) The total allowance for credit losses for the financial assets was $1.6 million and $1.7 million as of December 31, 2020 and the January 1, 2020 date of adoption, respectively. There was no allowance as of December 31, 2019. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the net decrease in the allowance for credit losses of $0.1 million is included in underwriting, general and administrative expenses. Reinsurance Recoverables As part of the Company’s overall risk and capacity management strategy, reinsurance is used to mitigate certain risks underwritten by various business segments. The Company is exposed to the credit risk of reinsurers, as the Company remains liable to insureds regardless of whether related reinsurance recoverables are collected. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, reinsurance recoverables totaled $3.23 billion and $3.26 billion, respectively, the majority of which are protected from credit risk by various types of collateral or other risk mitigation mechanisms, such as trusts, letters of credit or by withholding the assets in a modified coinsurance or funds withheld arrangement. The Company utilizes external credit ratings published by S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., at the balance sheet date when determining the allowance. Where rates are not available, the Company assigns default credit ratings based on if the reinsurer is authorized or unauthorized. Of the total recoverables subject to the allowance, 86% were rated A- or better and 14% were rated BBB or BB. The following table presents the changes in the CECL allowance for reinsurance recoverables for the year ended December 31, 2020. Total Balance, December 31, 2019 $ — Cumulative effect of adoption 1.7 Change in allowance (0.1) Balance, December 31, 2020 $ 1.6 When determining the allowance at December 31, 2020, the Company did not increase default probabilities by reinsurer since there had been no credit rating downgrades or major negative credit indications of the Company’s reinsurers that has impacted the ratings. The allowance may be increased and income reduced in future periods if there are future ratings downgrades or other measurable information supporting an increase in reinsurer default probabilities, including, but not limited to, collateral reductions. |

See Note 2 for more information. The Company's state, municipality and political subdivision holdings are highly diversified across the United States, with no individual state, municipality or political subdivision exposure (including both general obligation and revenue securities) exceeding 0.7% and 0.6% of the overall investment portfolio as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, revenue bonds accounted for 81% and 82% of the holdings, respectively. The activities supporting the income streams of the Company's revenue bonds are across a broad range of sectors, primarily airport, marina and specifically pledged tax revenues. The Company had European investment exposure in its corporate fixed maturity of $68.0 million with a net unrealized gain of $20.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and $69.7 million with a net unrealized gain of $17.0 million as of December 31, 2019. Approximately 24% and 26% of the corporate European exposure was held in the financial industry as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company's largest European country exposure (the United Kingdom) represented approximately 4% of the fair value of the Company's corporate fixed maturity securities as of both December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company's international investments are managed as part of the overall portfolio with same approach to risk management and focus on diversification. The cost or amortized cost and fair value of fixed maturity securities at December 31, 2020 by contractual maturity are shown below.

Approximately 92% of these gross unrealized losses had been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months as of December 31, 2020. The total gross unrealized losses are comprised of 15 and 11 individual securities at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In accordance with its policy, the Company concluded that for these securities, the gross unrealized losses as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 were related to non-credit factors and therefore, did not recognize credit-related losses during the year ended December 31, 2020. Additionally, the Company currently does not intend to and is not required to sell these investments prior to an anticipated recovery in value. The cost or amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2020, by contractual maturity, is shown below: December 31, 2020 Cost or Fair Value Due after five years through ten years $ 4.3 $ 4.2 Due after ten years 11.9 10.3 Total 16.2 14.5 Asset-backed 27.1 26.8 Total $ 43.3 $ 41.3 The Company has entered into commercial mortgage loans, collateralized by the underlying real estate, on properties located throughout the United States. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 49% of the outstanding principal balance of commercial mortgage loans was concentrated in the states of California, Alabama and Maryland. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, an economic downturn could have an adverse impact on the ability of its debtors to repay their loans. The outstanding balance of commercial mortgage loans range in size from $0.1 million to $7.8 million as of December 31, 2020 and from $0.2 million to $8.0 million as of December 31, 2019. Credit quality indicators for commercial mortgage loans are loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios. Loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios are measures commonly used to assess the credit quality of commercial mortgage loans. The loan-to-value ratio compares the principal amount of the loan to the fair value of the underlying property collateralizing the loan and is commonly expressed as a percentage. The debt-service coverage ratio compares a property's net operating income to its debt-service payments and is commonly expressed as a ratio. The loan-to-value and debt-service coverage ratios are updated annually in the fourth quarter. The following table presents the amortized cost basis of commercial mortgage loans, excluding allowance for credit losses, by origination year for certain key credit quality indicators at December 31, 2020: Origination Year Loan-to-value ratios (1): 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 Prior Total % of Total 70% and less $ — $ — $ 6.3 $ 9.5 $ 6.0 $ 22.2 $ 44.0 100.0 % Total $ — $ — $ 6.3 $ 9.5 $ 6.0 $ 22.2 $ 44.0 100.0 % Origination Year Debt-service coverage ratios (2): 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 Prior Total % of Total Greater than 2.0 $ — $ — $ — $ 9.5 $ 6.0 $ 9.0 $ 24.5 55.7 % 1.5 to 2.0 — — — — — 7.2 7.2 16.4 % 1.0 to 1.5 — — 6.3 — — 6.0 12.3 27.9 % Total $ — $ — $ 6.3 $ 9.5 $ 6.0 $ 22.2 $ 44.0 100.0 % (1) LTV ratio derived from current loan balance divided by the fair value of the property.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures | FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES Fair Values, Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities Disclosures The fair value measurements and disclosures guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company has categorized its recurring fair value basis financial assets and liabilities into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and takes into account factors specific to the asset or liability. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: • Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company can access. • Level 2 inputs utilize other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable in the marketplace for the asset or liability. The observable inputs are used in valuation models to calculate the fair value for the asset or liability. • Level 3 inputs are unobservable but are significant to the fair value measurement for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company reviews fair value hierarchy classifications on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The amounts presented below for other investments, cash equivalents, assets held in and liabilities related to separate accounts differ from the amounts presented in the balance sheets because only certain investments or certain assets and liabilities within these line items are measured at estimated fair value. The fair value amount and the majority of the associated levels presented for assets and liabilities held in separate accounts are received directly from third parties.

(2) Included as part of change in unrealized gains on securities in the statement of comprehensive income. (3) Transfers are primarily attributable to changes in the availability of observable market information and re-evaluation of the observability of valuation inputs. Three different valuation techniques can be used in determining fair value for financial assets and liabilities: the market, income or cost approaches. The three valuation techniques described in the fair value measurements and disclosures guidance are consistent with generally accepted valuation methodologies. The market approach valuation techniques use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. When possible, quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets are used as of the period-end date (such as for mutual funds and money market funds). Otherwise, the Company uses valuation techniques consistent with the market approach including matrix pricing and comparables. Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique employed principally to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for those securities but, rather, relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. Market approach valuation techniques often use market multiples derived from a set of comparables. Multiples might lie in ranges with a different multiple for each comparable. The selection of where within the range the appropriate multiple falls requires judgment, considering both qualitative and quantitative factors specific to the measurement. Income approach valuation techniques convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount, or a discounted amount. These techniques rely on current market expectations of future amounts as of the period-end date. Examples of income approach valuation techniques include present value techniques, option-pricing models, binomial or lattice models that incorporate present value techniques and the multi-period excess earnings method. Cost approach valuation techniques are based upon the amount that would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset at the period-end date, or the current replacement cost. That is, from the perspective of a market participant (seller), the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a market participant (buyer) to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence. While not all three approaches are applicable to all financial assets or liabilities, where appropriate, the Company may use one or more valuation techniques. For all the classes of financial assets and liabilities included in the above hierarchy, excluding derivatives and certain privately placed corporate bonds, the Company generally uses the market valuation technique. For certain privately placed corporate bonds and derivatives, the Company generally uses the income valuation technique. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the application of the valuation technique applied to the Company’s classes of financial assets and liabilities has been consistent. Level 1 Securities The Company’s investments and liabilities classified as Level 1 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, consisted of mutual funds and related obligations, money market funds and common stocks that are publicly listed and/or actively traded in an established market. Level 2 Securities The Company values Level 2 securities using various observable market inputs obtained from a pricing service. The pricing service prepares estimates of fair value measurements for the Company’s Level 2 securities using proprietary valuation models based on techniques such as matrix pricing which include observable market inputs. The fair value measurements and disclosures guidance defines observable market inputs as the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. The extent of the use of each observable market input for a security depends on the type of security and the market conditions at the balance sheet date. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of observable market inputs may change as some observable market inputs may not be relevant or additional inputs may be necessary. The Company uses the following observable market inputs (“standard inputs”), listed in the approximate order of priority, in the pricing evaluation of Level 2 securities: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research data. Further details for Level 2 investment types follow: U.S. government and government agencies and authorities: U.S. government and government agencies and authorities securities are priced by the Company’s pricing service utilizing standard inputs. Included in this category are U.S. Treasury securities which are priced using vendor trading platform data in addition to the standard inputs. States, municipalities and political subdivisions: State, municipalities and political subdivisions securities are priced by the Company’s pricing service using material event notices and new issue data inputs in addition to the standard inputs. Foreign governments: Foreign government securities are priced by the Company’s pricing service utilizing standard inputs. The pricing service also evaluates each security based on relevant market information including relevant credit information, perceived market movements and sector news. Commercial mortgage-backed, residential mortgage-backed and asset-backed: Commercial mortgage-backed, residential mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are priced by the Company’s pricing service using monthly payment information and collateral performance information in addition to the standard inputs. Additionally, commercial mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities utilize new issue data while residential mortgage-backed securities utilize vendor trading platform data. U.S. and foreign corporate: Corporate securities are priced by the Company’s pricing service using standard inputs. Non-investment grade securities within this category are priced by the Company’s pricing service using observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to the issuer in addition to the standard inputs. Certain privately placed corporate bonds are priced by a non-pricing service source using a model with observable inputs including, but not limited to, the credit rating, credit spreads, sector add-ons, and issuer specific add-ons. Non-redeemable preferred stocks: Non-redeemable preferred stocks are priced by the Company’s pricing service using observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to the issuer in addition to the standard inputs. Assets held in separate accounts and liabilities related to separate accounts: To price the fixed maturity securities and related obligations in these categories, the pricing service utilizes the standard inputs. Valuation models used by the pricing service can change from period to period, depending on the appropriate observable inputs that are available at the balance sheet date to price a security. Level 3 Securities The Company’s investments classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 consisted of $13.5 million and $12.8 million, respectively, of fixed maturity and equity securities. All of the Level 3 fixed maturity and equity securities are priced using non-binding third-party manager quotes, for which the underlying quantitative inputs are not developed by the Company and are not readily available or observable. M anagement evaluates the following factors in order to determine whether the market for a financial asset is inactive. The factors include, but are not limited to: • whether t here are few recent transactions, • whether l ittle information is released publicly, • whether t he available prices vary significantly over time or among market participants, • whether t he prices are stale (i.e., not current), and • t he magnitude of the bid-ask spread. Illiquidity did not have a material impact in the fair value determination of the Company's financial assets as of December 31, 2020 or 2019. T he Company generally obtains one price for each financial asset. The Company performs a periodic analysis to assess if the evaluated prices represent a reasonable estimate of the financial assets' fair values. This process involves quantitative and qualitative analysis and is overseen by investment and accounting professionals. Examples of procedures performed include, but are not limited to, initial and on-going review of pricing service methodologies, review of the prices received from the pricing service, review of pricing statistics and trends, and comparison of prices for certain securities with two different appropriate price sources for reasonableness. Following this analysis, the Company generally uses the best estimate of fair value based upon all available inputs. On infrequent occasions, a non-pricing service source may be more familiar with the market activity for a particular security than the pricing service. In these cases, the price used is taken from the non-pricing service source. The pricing service provides information to indicate which securities were priced using market observable inputs so that the Company can properly categorize the Company’s financial assets in the fair value hierarchy. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Disclosures The financial instruments guidance requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate such fair value. Therefore, it requires fair value disclosure for financial instruments that are not recognized or are not carried at fair value in the balance sheets. However, this guidance excludes certain financial instruments, including those related to insurance contracts and those accounted for under the equity method ( such as partnerships). For the financial instruments included within the following financial assets and financial liabilities, the carrying value in the balance sheets equals or approximates fair value. Please refer to the Fair Value Inputs and Valuation Techniques for Financial Assets and Liabilities Disclosures section above for additional information on the financial instruments included within the following financial assets and financial liabilities and the methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value: • Cash and cash equivalents; • Fixed maturity securities; • Equity securities; • Other investments; • Assets held in separate accounts; and • Liabilities related to separate accounts. In estimating the fair value of the financial instruments that are not recognized or are not carried at fair value in the balance sheets, the Company used the following methods and assumptions: Commercial mortgage loans on real estate : the fair value of commercial mortgage loans on real estate utilizes a third-party matrix pricing model. For fixed rate loans, the matrix process uses a yield buildup approach to create a pricing yield, with components for base yield, credit quality spread, property type spread, and a weighted average life spread. Floating rate loans are priced with a target quality spread over the swap curve. A dollar price for each loan is derived from the pricing yield or spread by a discounted cash flow methodology. Policy loans: the carrying value of policy loans reported in the balance sheets approximates fair value. Policy reserves under investment products : the fair values for the Company’s policy reserves under investment products are determined using discounted cash flow analysis. Key inputs to the valuation include projections of policy cash flows, reserve run-off, market yields and risk margins. The following tables disclose the carrying value, fair value and hierarchy level of the financial instruments that are not recognized or are not carried at fair value in the balance sheets as of the dates indicated: December 31, 2020 Fair Value Carrying Value Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial assets: Commercial mortgage loans on real estate $ 43.9 $ 50.0 $ — $ — $ 50.0 Policy loans 5.3 5.3 5.3 — — Other investments 0.2 0.2 — — 0.2 Total financial assets $ 49.4 $ 55.5 $ 5.3 $ — $ 50.2 Financial liabilities: Policy reserves under investment products (Individual and group annuities, subject to discretionary withdrawal) (1) $ 194.1 $ 241.2 $ — $ — $ 241.2 December 31, 2019 Fair Value Carrying Value Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial assets: Commercial mortgage loans on real estate $ 47.4 $ 50.8 $ — $ — $ 50.8 Policy loans 5.6 5.6 5.6 — — Other investments 0.2 0.2 — — 0.2 Total financial assets $ 53.2 $ 56.6 $ 5.6 $ — $ 51.0 Financial liabilities: Policy reserves under investment products (Individual and group annuities, subject to discretionary withdrawal) (1) $ 196.3 $ 230.0 $ — $ — $ 230.0 (1) Only the fair value of the Company's policy reserves for investment-type contracts (those without significant mortality or morbidity risk) are reflected in the table above. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES The Company is subject to U.S. tax and files a U.S. consolidated federal income tax return with its Parent. All of the Company’s income comes from domestic sources. The components of income tax expense (benefit) were as follows for the periods indicated: Year Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Current expense (benefit) $ 0.4 $ 8.8 $ 9.5 Deferred expense 5.0 2.0 7.2 Total income tax expense $ 5.4 $ 10.8 $ 16.7 A reconciliation of the federal income tax rate to the Company's effective income tax rate follows for the periods indicated: December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Federal income tax rate: 21.0 % 21.0 % 21.0 % Reconciling items: Dividends-received deduction (3.3) % (1.3) % (0.8) % TCJA impacts — % — % 0.5 % Other (1.6) % (0.3) % (0.3) % Effective income tax rate 16.1 % 19.4 % 20.4 % The Company's unrecognized tax benefits for each of the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018 are $2.4 million. The Company does not anticipate any significant increase in the unrecognized tax benefit within the next 12 months. The Parent files its consolidated income tax returns in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. The Parent has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2015. Substantially all state and local income tax matters have been concluded for the years through 2012. The tax effects of temporary differences that result in significant deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are as follows as of the dates indicated: December 31, 2020 2019 Deferred tax assets: Deferred gain on disposal of businesses $ 5.6 $ 7.5 Deferred acquisition costs 16.0 16.5 Investments, net 3.6 5.8 Policyholder and separate account reserves 8.2 8.3 Employee benefits — 2.8 Total deferred tax assets 33.4 40.9 Deferred tax liabilities: Net unrealized appreciation on securities (53.5) (43.8) Other (0.6) (0.6) Total deferred tax liabilities (54.1) (44.4) Net deferred income tax liabilities $ (20.7) $ (3.5) The calculation of the valuation allowance is made at the consolidated return group level and analyzed at the separate company level. No cumulative valuation allowance has been recorded because it is management's assessment that it is more likely than not that the gross deferred tax assets in the table above will be realized. The Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets depends on its ability to generate sufficient taxable income of the same character within the carryback or carryforward periods. In assessing future taxable income, the Company considered all sources of taxable income available to realize its deferred tax asset, including the future reversal of existing temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards, taxable income in carryback years and tax-planning strategies. If changes occur in the assumptions underlying the Company’s tax planning strategies or in the scheduling of the reversal of the Company’s deferred tax liabilities, a valuation allowance may need to be recorded in the future. At December 31, 2020, the Company had no net operating loss or capital loss and $0.1 million of tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes. |

Insurance [Abstract] | |
Statutory Information | STATUTORY INFORMATION The Company prepares an Annual Statement on the basis of statutory accounting principles (“SAP”) prescribed or permitted by the Kansas Insurance Department. Prescribed SAP includes the Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) as well as state laws, regulations and administrative rules. The principal differences between SAP and GAAP are: 1) policy acquisition costs are expensed as incurred under SAP, but are deferred and amortized under GAAP; 2) amounts collected from holders of universal life-type and annuity products are recognized as premiums when collected under SAP, but are initially recorded as contract deposits under GAAP, with cost of insurance recognized as revenue when assessed and other contract charges recognized over the periods for which services are provided; 3) the classification and carrying amounts of investments in certain securities are different under SAP than under GAAP; 4) the criteria for providing asset valuation allowances, and the methodologies used to determine the amounts thereof, are different under SAP than under GAAP; 5) the timing of establishing certain reserves, and the methodologies used to determine the amounts thereof, are different under SAP than under GAAP; 6) certain assets are not admitted for purposes of determining surplus under SAP; 7) methodologies used to determine the amounts of deferred taxes and goodwill are different under SAP than under GAAP; 8) the criteria for obtaining reinsurance accounting treatment, as well as presentation of insurance, is different under SAP than under GAAP; and 9) deferred gains on the sale of reinsurance are recognized as surplus under SAP and as a liability under GAAP. The Company's statutory net income and capital and surplus are as follows: Years Ended and at December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Statutory net income $ 34.7 $ 48.1 $ 90.0 Statutory capital and surplus $ 127.9 $ 123.6 $ 126.3 Dividend distributions to the Parent are restricted as to the amount by state regulatory requirements. The Company declared and paid cash dividends of $18.0 million, all of which were considered to represent ordinary dividends during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company declared and paid cash dividends of $27.0 million, of which $14.0 million were considered to represent extraordinary dividends and $13.0 million were ordinary dividends during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company paid $14.0 million of the dividend as a return of contributed surplus during the year ended December 31, 2019. The Company declared and paid cash dividends of $15.0 million, all of which were considered to represent extraordinary dividends during the year ended December 31, 2018. A dividend is considered extraordinary when combined with all other dividends and distributions made within the preceding 12 months exceeds the greater of 10% of the insurer's surplus as regards to policyholders on December 31 of the next preceding year, or the net gain from operations. Dividends may only be paid out of earned surplus. The Company has the ability, under state regulatory requirements, to dividend up to $29.6 million to its Parent in 2021 without permission from Kansas regulators. No assurance can be given that there will not be further regulatory actions restricting the ability of the Company to pay dividends. State regulators require insurance companies to meet minimum capitalization standards designed to ensure that they can fulfill obligations to policyholders. Minimum capital requirements are expressed as a ratio of a company’s total adjusted capital (“TAC”) to its risk-based capital (“RBC”) (the “RBC Ratio”). TAC is equal to statutory surplus adjusted to exclude certain statutory liabilities. RBC is calculated by applying specified factors to various asset, premium, expense, liability, and reserve items. Generally, if a company's RBC Ratio is below 100% (the "Authorized Control Level"), the insurance commissioner of the company's state of domicile is authorized to take control of the company, to protect the interests of policyholders. If the RBC Ratio is greater than 100%, but less than 200% (the "Company Action Level"), the company must submit an RBC plan to the commissioner of the state of domicile. Corrective actions may also be required if the RBC Ratio is greater than the Company Action Level but the company fails certain trend tests. |

Reinsurance Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Reinsurance | REINSURANCE In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in both the assumption and cession of reinsurance with non-affiliated companies. The following table provides details of the reinsurance recoverables balance as of the dates indicated: December 31, 2020 2019 Ceded future policyholder benefits and expenses $ 2,199.8 $ 2,192.1 Ceded unearned premium 14.4 18.3 Ceded claims and benefits payable 1,012.5 1,044.7 Ceded paid losses 0.8 5.0 Total $ 3,227.5 $ 3,260.1 A key credit quality indicator for reinsurance is the A.M. Best Company ("A.M. Best") financial strength ratings of the reinsurer. A.M. Best financial strength ratings are an independent opinion of a reinsurer’s ability to meet ongoing obligations to policyholders. The A.M. Best ratings for new reinsurance agreements where there is material credit exposure are reviewed at the time of execution. The A.M. Best ratings for existing reinsurance agreements are reviewed on a quarterly basis, or sooner based on developments. The following table provides the reinsurance recoverable as of December 31, 2020 grouped by A.M. Best financial strength ratings: A. M. Best Rating of Reinsurer Ceded future policyholder benefits and expense Ceded unearned premiums Ceded claims and benefits payable Ceded paid losses Total A++ or A+ $ 1,659.5 $ 13.9 $ 992.9 $ 2.1 $ 2,668.4 A or A– 59.4 0.5 2.7 — 62.6 B++ or B+ 480.5 — 16.9 0.3 497.7 Not rated 0.4 — — — 0.4 Total 2,199.8 14.4 1,012.5 2.4 3,229.1 Less Allowance: — — — (1.6) (1.6) Total Reinsurance recoverable $ 2,199.8 $ 14.4 $ 1,012.5 $ 0.8 $ 3,227.5 The Company has used reinsurance to exit certain businesses, including the disposals of AEB, FFG and LTC. The reinsurance recoverables relating to these dispositions amounted to $3.16 billion as of December 31, 2020. The three reinsurers with the largest reinsurance recoverable balances relating to these dispositions were Sun Life, John Hancock, and Talcott Resolution (formerly owned by The Hartford). The A.M. Best financial strength ratings of these three insurers were A+, A+ and B++, respectively. A.M. Best currently maintains a stable outlook on the financial strength ratings of Sun Life, John Hancock, and Talcott Resolution. Most of the assets backing reserves relating to reinsurance recoverables from Sun Life, John Hancock, and Talcott Resolution are held in trust. If these reinsurers became insolvent, the Company would be exposed to the risk that the assets in the trusts and/or the separate accounts would be insufficient to support the liabilities that would revert back to the Company. In addition to the direct reinsurance transactions referenced above, in 2013, The Hartford (now Talcott Resolution) sold its Individual Life Operations to Prudential Financial, Inc. ("Prudential"). Included in this transaction were the individual life policies remaining in force that were originally transferred by the Company as part of the sale of FFG. The assets backing the reserves coinsured from The Hartford to Prudential continue to be held in trusts or separate accounts, and the Company is subject to the risk that the trust and/or separate account assets may be insufficient to support the liabilities that would revert back to the Company. The following table presents the reinsurance recoverable from John Hancock, Sun Life, Talcott Resolution and other reinsurers as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. Reinsurer December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 John Hancock $ 2,169.7 $ 2,106.0 Sun Life 497.0 579.9 Talcott Resolution 497.7 509.1 Other reinsurers 63.1 65.1 Total $ 3,227.5 $ 3,260.1 The largest risk is with John Hancock. As of December 31, 2020, there is $2.64 billion held in trust to support the coinsurance arrangement. If the value of the assets in this trust falls below the value of the associated statutory liabilities, John Hancock will be required to put more assets in the trust. If necessary, an allowance for doubtful accounts related to reinsurance recoverables is recorded on the basis of periodic evaluations of balances due from reinsurers (net of collateral), reinsurer solvency, management's experience and current economic conditions. Refer to Note 2 for additional information on the methodology. The effect of reinsurance on premiums earned and benefits incurred was as follows for the period indicated: Years Ended December 31, 2020 2019 2018 Long Short Duration Total Long Short Duration Total Long Short Duration Total Direct earned premiums $ 141.2 $ 54.5 $ 195.7 $ 150.2 $ 213.6 $ 363.8 $ 182.2 $ 568.2 $ 750.4 Premiums assumed 3.0 — 3.0 2.6 1.3 3.9 3.2 1.4 4.6 Premiums ceded (139.6) (54.5) (194.1) (148.4) (214.2) (362.6) (180.6) (569.6) (750.2) Net earned premiums $ 4.6 $ — $ 4.6 $ 4.4 $ 0.7 $ 5.1 $ 4.8 $ — $ 4.8 Direct policyholder benefits $ 459.0 $ 66.1 $ 525.1 $ 505.0 $ 144.0 $ 649.0 $ 399.6 $ 363.7 $ 763.3 Policyholder benefits assumed 13.4 0.1 13.5 12.7 (0.1) 12.6 14.4 — 14.4 Policyholder benefits ceded (416.1) (66.1) (482.2) (461.3) (143.7) (605.0) (350.9) (363.7) (714.6) Net policyholder benefits $ 56.3 $ 0.1 $ 56.4 $ 56.4 $ 0.2 $ 56.6 $ 63.1 $ — $ 63.1 The Company had $345.3 million and $370.1 million, respectively, of invested assets held in trusts or by custodians as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, for the benefit of others related to certain reinsurance arrangements. The Company utilizes ceded reinsurance for loss protection and capital management, business dispositions, client risk and profit sharing. Business Divestitures As referenced in Note 1, the Company has used reinsurance or coinsurance to sell certain businesses, such as for the disposals of AEB, FFG and LTC. The reinsurance agreement associated with the FFG sale also stipulates that Talcott Resolution contributes funds to increase the value of the separate account assets relating to annuity business sold if such value declines below the value of the associated liabilities. If Talcott Resolution fails to fulfill these obligations, the Company will be obligated to make these payments. In addition, the Company would be responsible for administering all of the reinsured or coinsured businesses in the event of reinsurer or coinsurer insolvency. The Company does not currently have the administrative systems and capabilities to process these businesses. Accordingly, the Company would need to obtain those capabilities in the event of an insolvency of one or more of the reinsurers or coinsurers of these businesses. The Company might be forced to obtain such capabilities on unfavorable terms with a resulting material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. As of December 31, 2020, the Company was not aware of any regulatory actions taken with respect to the solvency of the insurance subsidiaries of John Hancock, Sun Life or Talcott Resolution that reinsure the AEB, FFG and LTC businesses, and the Company has not been obligated to fulfill any of such reinsurers’ obligations. John Hancock, Sun Life and Talcott Resolution have paid their obligations when due and there have been no disputes. |

Insurance [Abstract] | |
Reserves | RESERVES Short Duration Contracts The Company's short duration contracts are mainly comprised of disposed and run-off business. The principal products and services included in these categories are described in the summary of significant accounting policies. See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for further information. Disposed and Run-off Short Duration Insurance Lines Disposed business includes certain medical policies no longer offered and AEB policies disposed of via reinsurance. Reserves for previously disposed business are included in the Company’s reserves in accordance with the insurance guidelines. The Company maintains an offsetting reinsurance recoverable related to the AEB reserves. See Note 9 to the Financial Statements for further information. Long Duration Contracts The Company's long duration contracts are primarily comprised of preneed life insurance and annuity policies, life insurance policies (no longer offered), and AEB, FFG and LTC disposed businesses. The principal products and services included in these categories are described in the summary of significant accounting policies. See Note 2 for further information. Disposed and Run-off Long Duration Insurance Lines The Company’s universal life and annuity products are no longer offered and are in run-off. Reserves have been established based on the following assumptions. Interest rates credited on annuities were at guaranteed rates, ranging from 3.5% to 4.0%, except for a limited number of policies with guaranteed crediting rates of 4.5%. All annuity policies are past the surrender charge period. Crediting interest rates on universal life fund are at guaranteed rates of 4.0% to 4.1%. Universal life funds are subject to surrender charges that vary by product, age, sex, year of issue, risk class, face amount and grade to zero over a period not longer than 20 years. Reserves for previously disposed AEB, FFG and LTC businesses are included in the Company’s reserves in accordance with the insurance guidance. The Company maintains an offsetting reinsurance recoverable related to these reserves. See Note 9 for further information. Preneed Business The Company's preneed life insurance products are in run-off and no longer offered. Interest and discount rates for preneed life insurance vary by year of issuance and product and ranged from 4.7% to 7.3% in 2020 and 2019 before provisions for adverse deviation, which ranged from 0.2% to 0.5% in 2020 and 2019. Interest and discount rates for traditional life insurance vary by year of issuance and products and were 7.5% grading to 5.3% over 20 years in 2020 and 2019 with the exception of a block of pre-1980 business which had a level 8.8% discount rate in 2020 and 2019. Mortality assumptions are based upon pricing assumptions and modified to allow for provisions for adverse deviation. Surrender rates vary by product and are based upon pricing assumptions. Future policy benefit increases on preneed life insurance policies ranged from 0.0% to 7.0% in 2020 and 2019. Some policies have future policy benefit increases that are guaranteed or tied to equal some measure of inflation. The inflation assumption for most of these inflation-linked benefits was 3.0% in both 2020 and 2019 with the exception of most policies issued in 2005 through 2007 where the assumption was 2.3%. The reserves for preneed annuities are based on assumed interest rates credited on deferred annuities, which vary by year of issue, and ranged from 1.0% to 5.5% in 2020 and 2019. Withdrawal charges, if any, can range up to 7.0% and grade to zero over a period of seven Reserve Roll Forward The following table provides a roll forward of the Company's beginning and ending claims and benefits payable balances. Claims and benefits payable is the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses and is comprised of case and IBNR reserves. Since unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses are estimates, the Company's actual losses incurred may be more or less than the Company's previously developed estimates, which is referred to as either unfavorable or favorable development, respectively. There have been no significant changes in the methodologies and assumptions utilized in estimating the liability for unpaid loss and loss adjustment expenses for any of the periods presented.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Risks and Uncertainties The Company continues to closely monitor developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic to assess the ongoing impact on its business, results of operations and financial condition. While still evolving, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant global economic and financial market disruption, resulting in increased financial market volatility, business and operational challenges such as the temporary closures of businesses, and overall diminished expectations for the economy and the financial markets. At this time, it is not possible to estimate how long it will take to halt the spread of the virus or the long-term effects that the COVID-19 pandemic could have on the economy or the Company’s business. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the Company’s business, results of operations or financial condition will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and difficult to predict, including the severity and duration of the pandemic and the actions taken by government authorities and other third parties to contain or address its impact. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, the Company may experience materially adverse impacts to its business, results of operations and financial condition as a result of the pandemic’s global economic impact. Legal and Regulatory Matters The Company is involved in a variety of litigation and legal and regulatory proceedings relating to its current and past business operations and, from time to time, may become involved in other such actions, both as a defendant and as a plaintiff. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of any pending litigation, legal or regulatory proceeding, or the potential losses, fines, penalties or equitable relief, if any, that may result, it is possible that such outcome could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or cash flows for an individual reporting period. However, on the basis of currently available information, management does not believe that the pending matters are likely to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company's financial condition. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of PresentationThe Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Amounts are presented in United States of America (“U.S.”) dollars and all amounts are in millions, except for number of shares, per share amounts, number of securities and number of loans. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. The items affected by the use of estimates include but are not limited to, investments, reinsurance recoverables, other assets, future policy benefits and expenses, unearned premiums, claims and benefits payable, deferred gain on disposal of businesses, and commitments and contingencies. The estimates are sensitive to market conditions, investment |
Fair Value | Fair Value The Company uses an exit price for its fair value measurements. An exit price is defined as the amount received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In measuring fair value, the Company gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. See Note 5 for additional information. |
Investments | Investments Fixed maturity securities are classified as available-for-sale as defined in the investments guidance and are reported at fair value. If the fair value is higher than the amortized cost for fixed maturity securities, the excess is an unrealized gain; and, if lower than amortized cost, the difference is an unrealized loss. Net unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available-for-sale, less deferred income taxes, are included in AOCI. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted certain changes to the accounting and reporting for impairments involving available for sale securities, including presentation of credit-related impairments as an allowance rather than as an other-than-temporary impairment, eliminating duration of unrealized losses as a consideration when assessing recognition of an impairment, recognition of credit impairments upon purchase of securities as applicable, and requiring reversals of previously recognized credit-related impairments when expectations for recovery improve. For available for sale fixed maturity securities in an unrealized loss position for which the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in value, the Company evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost basis, changes to the credit rating of the security by a nationally recognized statistical ratings organization and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry or geographic area, among other factors. If this assessment indicates a potential credit loss may exist, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected are compared to the security’s amortized cost basis. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit-related impairment exists, and a charge to income and an associated allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit-related impairment. Any impairment not related to credit losses is recorded through other comprehensive income. The amount of the allowance for credit losses is limited to the amount by which fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for, or reversal of, credit loss expense. For fixed maturities where the Company records a credit loss, a determination is made as to the cause of the impairment and whether the Company expects a recovery in the value. Write-offs are charged against the allowance when management concludes the financial asset is uncollectible. For fixed maturities where the Company expects a recovery in value, the effective yield method is utilized, and the investment is amortized to par. For available for sale fixed maturity securities that the Company intends to sell, or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment loss, or difference between the fair value and amortized cost basis of the security, is recognized in net realized gains (losses). The new cost basis of the security is the previous amortized cost basis less the impairment recognized and is not adjusted for any subsequent recoveries in fair value. The Company reports receivables for accrued investment income separately from fixed maturities available for sale and elected not to measure allowances for credit losses for accrued investment income as uncollectible balances are written off in a timely manner. Equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net realized gains (losses) on investments on the Company’s statement of operations. Equity securities accounted for under the measurement alternative are impaired if a qualitative assessment based upon several indicators such as earnings performance, offers to sell or purchase, ability to continue as a going concern and macroeconomic factors indicates the equity investment is impaired and the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. If a qualitative assessment indicates impairment a quantitative analysis which uses probability weighted potential outcomes is performed to determine the amount of the impairment to be recognized that result in a fair value measurement. Commercial mortgage loans on real estate are reported at unpaid principal balances, adjusted for amortization of premium or discount, less any allowance for credit losses. The allowance for the Company’s commercial mortgage loans is based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, utilizing a probability-of default and loss given default methodologies, which incorporate various probability weighted economic scenarios. The probability of default is estimated using macroeconomic factors as well as individual loan characteristics, including loan-to-value (“LTV”) and debt service coverage ratios (“DSC”), loan term, collateral type, geography and underlying credit. The loss given default is driven primarily by the type and value of underlying collateral, and to a lesser extent by expected liquidation costs and time to recovery. Each loan is analyzed individually based on loan-specific data elements to estimate the expected loss and then aggregated. The Company places loans on nonaccrual status after 90 days of delinquent payments (unless the loans are secured and in the process of collection). A loan may be placed on nonaccrual status before this time if information is available that suggests collection is unlikely. The Company charges off loan and accrued interest balances that are deemed uncollectible. Charge offs are recorded to net income in the period deemed uncollectible. Refer to Note 3 for further details on the allowance for credit losses on commercial mortgage loans. Prior to January 1, 2020, the allowance for loan loss was based on management’s analysis of factors including actual loan loss experience, specific events based on geographical, political or economic conditions, industry experience, loan groupings that have probable and estimable losses and individually impaired loan loss analysis. A loan was considered individually impaired when it became probable that the Company would be unable to collect all amounts due, including principal and interest, according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Indicative factors of impairment included, but were not limited to, whether the loan was current, the value of the collateral and the financial position of the borrower. If a loan was individually impaired, the Company used one of the following valuation methods based on the individual loan’s facts and circumstances to measure the impairment amount: (1) the present value of expected future cash flows,(2) the loan’s observable market price, or (3) the fair value of collateral. Changes in the allowance for loan losses was recorded in net realized losses on investments, excluding other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) losses. Other investments consist primarily of investments in joint ventures, partnerships and short-term investments. The joint ventures and partnerships are valued according to the equity method of accounting. In applying the equity method, the Company uses financial information provided by the investee, generally on a three-month lag. Short-term investments include securities and other investments with durations of one year or less, but greater than three months, between the date of purchase and maturity. These amounts are reported at cost or amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are recognized on the specific identification basis. Investment income is recorded as earned and reported net of investment expenses. The Company uses the interest method to recognize interest income on its commercial mortgage loans. The Company anticipates prepayments of principal in the calculation of the effective yield for mortgage-backed securities and structured securities. The retrospective method is used to adjust the effective yield for the majority of the Company's mortgage-backed and structured securities. |
Total OTTI Losses | Total OTTI Losses Prior to January 1, 2020, the Company separated OTTI losses of a debt security into two components of credit and non-credit losses. For debt securities with credit losses and non-credit losses or gains, total OTTI losses was the total of the decline in fair value from either the most recent OTTI determination or a prior period end in which the fair value declined until the current period end valuation date. This amount did not include any securities that had fair value increases. For debt securities that the Company had either the intent to sell or it was more likely than not that it would be required to sell below amortized cost, total OTTI losses were the amount by which the fair value of the security was less than its amortized cost basis at the period end valuation date and the decline in fair value was deemed to be OTTI. The amount of the OTTI related to a credit loss was recognized in earnings, and the amount of the OTTI related to other, non-credit factors (e.g., interest rates, market conditions, etc.) was recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The difference between the amortized cost of the security and the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected represented a credit loss that was recognized in earnings. If the estimated fair value was less than the present value of projected future cash flows expected to be collected, this portion of OTTI represented a non-credit loss that was recorded in other comprehensive income. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash EquivalentsThe Company considers all highly liquid securities and other investments with durations of three months or less between the date of purchase and maturity to be cash equivalents. These amounts are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash balances are reviewed at the end of each reporting period to determine if negative cash balances exist. If negative cash balances exist, the cash accounts are netted with other positive cash accounts of the same bank provided the right of offset exists between the accounts. If the right of offset does not exist, the negative cash balances are reclassified to accounts payable and other liabilities. |
Reinsurance | Reinsurance For both ceded and assumed reinsurance, risk transfer requirements must be met for reinsurance accounting to apply. If risk transfer requirements are not met, the contract is accounted for as a deposit, resulting in the recognition of cash flows under the contract through a deposit asset or liability and not as revenue or expense. To meet risk transfer requirements, a reinsurance contract must include both insurance risk, consisting of both underwriting and timing risk, and a reasonable possibility of a significant loss for the assuming entity. Similar risk transfer criteria are used to determine whether directly written insurance contracts should be accounted for as insurance or as a deposit. Reinsurance recoverables include amounts related to paid benefits and estimated amounts related to unpaid policy and contract claims, future policyholder benefits and policyholder contract deposits. The cost of reinsurance is recognized as a reduction to premiums earned over the terms of the underlying reinsured policies. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with claim and claim adjustment expense reserves or future policy benefits reserves and are reported in the balance sheets. The cost of reinsurance related to long-duration contracts is recognized over the life of the underlying reinsured policies. The ceding of insurance does not discharge the Company’s primary liability to insureds, thus a credit exposure exists to the extent that any reinsurer is unable to meet the obligation assumed in the reinsurance agreements. To mitigate this exposure to reinsurer insolvencies, the Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and typically holds collateral (in the form of funds withheld, trusts and letters of credit) as security under the reinsurance agreements. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the expected credit loss model for reinsurance recoverables. The Company uses a probability of default and loss given default methodology in estimating the allowance, whereby the credit ratings of reinsurers are used in determining the probability of default. The allowance is established for reinsurance recoverables on paid and unpaid future policy benefits and claims and benefits. Prior to applying default factors, the net exposure to credit risk is reduced for any collateral for which the right of offset exists, such as funds withheld, assets held in trust and letters of credit, which are part of the reinsurance arrangements, with adjustments to include consideration of credit exposure on the collateral. The methodology used by the Company incorporates historical default factors for each reinsurer based on their credit rating using comparably rated bonds as published by a major ratings service. The allowance is based upon the Company’s ongoing review of amounts outstanding, length of collection periods, changes in reinsurer credit standing and other relevant factors. Prior to January 1, 2020, an allowance for doubtful accounts was recorded on the basis of periodic evaluations of balances due from reinsurers (net of collateral), reinsurer solvency, historical collection experience and current economic conditions. Prior to adoption of the expected credit loss model, the Company did not have an allowance for doubtful accounts balance for reinsurance recoverables. |
Other Assets | Other Assets Other assets primarily includes prepaid items, deferred acquisition costs, value of business acquired in acquisitions and premiums and accounts receivable, net. |
Separate Accounts | Separate AccountsAssets and liabilities associated with separate accounts relate to premium and annuity considerations for variable life and annuity products for which the contract-holder, rather than the Company, bears the investment risk. Separate account assets (with matching liabilities) are reported at fair value. Revenues and expenses related to the separate account assets and liabilities, to the extent of benefits paid or provided to the separate account policyholders, are excluded from the amounts reported in the accompanying statements of operations because the underlying accounts involve investment-type annuity contracts and/or are subject to reinsurance. |
Reserves | Reserves Reserves are established using generally accepted actuarial methods and reflect judgments about expected future premium and claim payments. Factors used in their calculation include experience derived from historical claim payments, expected future premiums and actuarial assumptions. Calculations incorporate assumptions about the incidence of incurred claims, the extent to which all claims have been reported, reporting lags, expenses, inflation rates, future investment earnings, internal claims processing costs and other relevant factors. The estimation of reserves includes an element of uncertainty given that management is using historical information and methods to project future events and reserve outcomes. The recorded reserves represent the Company's best estimate at a point in time of the ultimate costs of settlement and administration of a claim or group of claims based upon actuarial assumptions and projections using facts and circumstances known at the time of calculation. The adequacy of reserves may be impacted by future trends in claims severity, frequency, judicial theories of liability and other factors. These variables are affected by both external and internal events, including but not limited to changes in the economic cycle, inflation, natural or human-made catastrophes, judicial trends, legislative changes and claims handling procedures. Many of these items are not directly quantifiable and not all future events can be anticipated when reserves are established. Reserve estimates are refined as experience develops. Adjustments to reserves, both positive and negative, are reflected in the statement of operations in the period in which such estimates are updated. Because establishment of reserves is an inherently complex process involving significant judgment and estimates, there can be no certainty that future settlement amounts for claims incurred through the financial reporting date will not vary from reported claims reserves. Future loss development could require reserves to be increased or decreased, which could have a material effect on the Company's earnings in the periods in which such increases or decreases are made. However, based on information currently available, the Company believes its reserve estimates are adequate. The following table provides reserve information for our major product lines for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019: December 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Claims and Benefits Claims and Benefits Future Unearned Case Incurred Future Unearned Case Incurred Long Duration Contracts: Global Preneed (1) $ 791.1 $ 22.2 $ 12.3 $ 2.8 $ 851.2 $ 24.0 $ 7.4 $ 2.4 Disposed and run-off businesses 2,121.1 13.8 505.2 55.3 2,107.3 15.0 477.3 47.6 Short Duration Contracts: Disposed and run-off businesses — 0.1 446.3 4.0 — 2.9 506.6 12.5 Credit disability — 0.1 — 0.5 — 0.1 — 0.7 Total $ 2,912.2 $ 36.2 $ 963.8 $ 62.6 $ 2,958.5 $ 42.0 $ 991.3 $ 63.2 (1) Global Preneed future policy benefits and expenses include reserves estimated using traditional reserving models calculated as the present value of future benefits to policyholders and related expenses, less the present value of future net premiums, of $771.5 million and $831.1 million as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The remaining future policy benefits and expenses primarily represent investment-type annuities and life insurance policies with discretionary benefits with account-value based reserves. For additional information regarding our reserves, see Note 10. Long Duration Contracts Future policy benefits and expense reserves for preneed investment-type annuities and preneed life insurance policies with discretionary death benefits, along with variable life insurance, universal life insurance and investment-type annuity contracts of the disposed and runoff businesses consist of policy account balances before applicable surrender charges and certain deferred policy initiation fees that are being recognized in income over the terms of the policies. Policy benefits charged to expense during the period include amounts paid in excess of policy account balances and interest credited to policy account balances. Unearned revenue reserves for the preneed life insurance contracts represent the balance of the excess of gross premiums over net premiums that is still recognized in future years’ income in a constant relationship to estimated gross profits. Future policy benefits and expense reserves for other preneed life insurance contracts are equal to the present value of future benefits to policyholders and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums. Reserve assumptions are selected using best estimates for inflation, mortality, margins and discount rates which are locked in unless a premium deficiency exists. These assumptions reflect current trends, are based on Company experience and include provision for adverse deviation. An unearned revenue reserve is also recorded for these contracts and represents the balance of the excess of gross premiums over net premiums that is still to be recognized in future years’ income in a constant relationship to insurance in force. Future policy benefits and expense reserves for other policies fully covered by reinsurance and certain life, annuity and group life conversion policies no longer offered are equal to the present value of future benefits to policyholders plus related expenses less the present value of the future net premiums. These amounts are estimated based on assumptions as to the discount, inflation, mortality, morbidity and withdrawal rates as well as other assumptions that are based on the Company’s experience. These assumptions reflect anticipated trends and include provisions for adverse deviations. Claims and benefits payable for policies fully covered by reinsurance and certain life, annuity, group life conversion, and medical insurance policies no longer offered are equal to the present value of future benefit payments and related expenses. These amounts are estimated based on assumptions as to inflation, mortality, morbidity and discount rates as well as other assumptions that are based on the Company's experience. Changes in the estimated liabilities are reported as a charge or credit to policyholder benefits as the estimates are updated. Short Duration Contracts The Company’s short duration contracts include accidental death products, former AEB group insurance contracts no longer offered and disposed of through reinsurance. For these contracts, claims and benefits payable reserves are recorded when insured events occur. The liability is based on the expected ultimate cost of settling the claims. The claims and benefits payable reserves include: (1) case reserves for known but unpaid claims as of the balance sheet date; (2) incurred but not reported ("IBNR") reserves for claims where the insured event has occurred but has not been reported to the Company as of the balance sheet date; and (3) loss adjustment expense reserves for the expected handling costs of settling the claims. Factors used in the calculation include experience derived from historical claim payments and actuarial assumptions including loss development factors and expected loss ratios. Changes in the estimated liabilities are recorded as a charge or credit to policyholder benefits as estimates are updated. |
Contingencies | ContingenciesA loss contingency is recorded if reasonably estimable and probable. The Company establishes reserves for these contingencies at the best estimate, or if no one estimated amount within the range of possible losses is more probable than any other, the Company records an estimated reserve at the low end of the estimated range. Contingencies affecting the Company primarily relate to legal and regulatory matters, which are inherently difficult to evaluate and are subject to significant changes. |
Premiums | Premiums Long Duration Contracts For traditional life insurance policies previously sold by the Assurant Global Preneed business, revenue is recognized when due from policyholders. For investment-type annuity contracts previously sold by the Assurant Global Preneed business, revenues consist of charges assessed against policy balances. Premiums for the Company’s previously sold long-term care insurance and traditional life insurance contracts are recognized as revenue when due from the policyholder. For universal life insurance and investment-type annuity contracts, revenues consist of charges assessed against policy balances. All of these premiums (related to the Company’s former FFG and LTC businesses that were previously sold) are ceded. Short Duration Contracts |
Fees and Other Income | Fees and Other Income Income earned on preneed life insurance policies with discretionary death benefits is presented within fees and other income. |
Underwriting, General and Administrative Expenses | Underwriting, General and Administrative Expenses Underwriting, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of commissions, premium taxes, licenses, fees, salaries and personnel benefits, amortization of deferred acquisition costs, amortization of value of business acquired and other general operating expenses. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company reports its taxable income in a consolidated federal income tax return along with other affiliated subsidiaries of the Parent. Income tax expense or benefit is allocated among the affiliated subsidiaries by applying income tax rates to taxable income or loss determined on a separate return basis according to a tax allocation agreement. Entities with losses record current tax benefits to the extent such losses are utilized in the consolidated federal tax return. Current federal income taxes are recognized based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year. Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and income tax basis of assets and liabilities, based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the Company expects the temporary differences to reverse. A valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that an amount will not be realized. The impact of changes in tax rates on all deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be reflected within income on the enactment date, regardless of the financial statement component where the deferred tax originated. The Company classifies net interest expense related to tax matters and any applicable penalties as a component of income tax expense. |
Comprehensive Income | Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income is comprised of net income, and net unrealized gains and losses on securities classified as available for sale, less deferred income taxes. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Adopted and Not Yet Adopted | Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Adopted Financial instruments measurement and classification : On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the amended guidance on the measurement and classification of financial instruments whereby all common and preferred stocks are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized through income. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to increase retained earnings by $8.1 million, which represents a reclassification of the unrealized gains on common and preferred stock as of the date of adoption from AOCI. Classification of certain tax effects from AOCI: In February 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued amended guidance on reclassifying the stranded tax effects from the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") from AOCI to retained earnings. During 2018, the Company adopted the new guidance and reclassified $(26.7) million from AOCI to retained earnings, with no impact on net income or total stockholders' equity. Accounting standards require the effect of a change in tax laws or rates on deferred tax liabilities or assets be included in net income in the reporting period that includes the enactment date, even though the related income tax effects may have been originally charged or credited to AOCI. The amounts reclassified relate to the difference between the original tax effect of items included in other comprehensive income, such as unrealized gains or losses on securities and the revised tax effects from the TCJA. We use a portfolio approach to release the stranded or disproportionate income tax effects in AOCI related to our available-for-sale securities. When the underlying portfolios are sold, mature, or are otherwise impaired on an other-than-temporary basis, the assigned portion of the disproportionate tax effect is reclassified from AOCI to income from continuing operations. Measurement of credit losses on financial instruments held at amortized cost (“CECL”) : In June 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, the amended guidance eliminates the probable recognition threshold and instead requires an entity to reflect the current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses are measured in a manner similar to accounting requirements in effect prior to adoption; however, the amended guidance requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a permanent impairment. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, premium receivables, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The Company adopted this standard as of January 1, 2020. Refer to Note 3 for additional information. Recent Accounting Pronouncements — Not Yet Adopted Targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts: In August 2018, the FASB issued guidance that provides targeted improvements to the accounting for long-duration contracts. The guidance includes the following primary changes: assumptions supporting benefit reserves will no longer be locked-in but must be updated at least annually with the impact of changes to the liability reflected in earnings (except for discount rates); the discount rate assumptions will be based on upper-medium grade (low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield instead of the earnings rate of invested assets; the discount rate must be evaluated at each reporting date and the impact of changes to the liability estimate as a result of updating the discount rate assumption is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income; the provision for adverse deviation is eliminated; and premium deficiency testing is eliminated. Other noteworthy changes include the following: differing models for amortizing deferred acquisition costs will become uniform for all long-duration contracts based on a constant rate over the expected term of the related in force contracts; all market risk benefits associated with deposit contracts must be reported at fair value with changes reflected in income except for changes related to credit risk which will be recognized in other comprehensive income; and disclosures will be expanded to include disaggregated roll forwards of the liability for future policy benefits, policyholder account balances, market risk benefits, separate account liabilities, and deferred acquisition costs, as well as information about significant inputs, judgments, assumptions and methods used in measurement. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Generally, the amendments are applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented with two transition options available for changing the assumptions. This guidance will apply to the Company's preneed life insurance policies, as well as its annuity and universal life products (which are no longer offered and are in runoff). The Company is evaluating the requirements of this guidance and the potential impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations. Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes: In December 2019, the FASB issued new guidance to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplification of areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and interim recognition of enactment of tax laws or rate changes. The standard will be effective for our annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect any material impact on its financial position and results of operations upon adoption in 2021. Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting : In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued. The relief is applicable only to legacy contracts if the amendments made to the agreements are solely for reference rate reform activities. The provisions must be applied consistently for all relevant transactions other than derivatives, which may be applied at a hedging relationship level. The guidance is effective upon issuance. The guidance on contract modifications is applied prospectively from any date beginning on or after March 12, 2020. The provisions of this update are only available until December 31, 2022, when the reference rate replacement activity is expected to have been completed. As certain published LIBOR periods are expected to be discontinued on or after December 31, 2021, the Company is evaluating the provisions of this new accounting guidance and the impact to debt, investments and derivatives that have references to LIBOR and the subsequent transition to alternative reference rates. |
