Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	(Dollar amounts in millions, except for per share data, unless otherwise stated) 1. Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc. is a financial holding company for a group of subsidiaries that provide investment products and life and property and casualty insurance to both individual and business customers in the United States and internationally (collectively, The Hartford or the Company). During the second quarter of 2009, the Company acquired Federal Trust Corporation and became a savings and loan holding company, see Note 16 for further information on the acquisition. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), which differ materially from the accounting practices prescribed by various insurance regulatory authorities. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes as of June 30, 2009, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. These condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in The Hartfords 2008 Form 10-K Annual Report. The results of operations for the interim periods should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Consolidation The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc., companies in which the Company directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest and those variable interest entities in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company determines if it is the primary beneficiary using both qualitative and quantitative analyses. Entities in which The Hartford does not have a controlling financial interest but in which the Company has significant influence over the operating and financing decisions are reported using the equity method. Material intercompany transactions and balances between The Hartford and its subsidiaries and affiliates have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates include those used in determining property and casualty reserves, net of reinsurance; life estimated gross profits used in the valuation and amortization of assets and liabilities associated with variable annuity and other universal life-type contracts; living be

In the absence of the net loss, weighted average common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares would have totaled 326.6 million. As a result of the net loss in the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company is required to use basic weighted average common shares outstanding in the calculation of the six months ended June 30, 2009 diluted loss per share, since the inclusion of 0.2 million shares for warrants and 0.7 million shares for stock compensation plans would have been antidilutive to the earnings per share calculation. In the absence of the net loss, weighted average common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares would have totaled 324.0 million.

Note 3 - Segment Information
Segment Information [Text Block]	(Dollar amounts in millions, except for per share data, unless otherwise stated) 3. Segment Information The Hartford is organized into two major operations: Life and Property Casualty, each containing reporting segments. Within the Life and Property Casualty operations, The Hartford conducts business principally in eleven reporting segments. Corporate primarily includes the Companys debt financing and related interest expense, as well as other capital raising activities, banking operations and certain purchase accounting adjustments. Life Life is organized into four groups which are comprised of six reporting segments: The Retail Products Group (Retail) and Individual Life segments make up the Individual Markets Group. The Retirement Plans and Group Benefits segments make up the Employer Markets Group. The Institutional Solutions Group (Institutional) and International segments each make up their own group. Life charges direct operating expenses to the appropriate segment and allocates the majority of indirect expenses to the segments based on an intercompany expense arrangement. Inter-segment revenues primarily occur between Lifes Other category and the reporting segments. These amounts primarily include interest income on allocated surplus and interest charges on excess separate account surplus. In addition, during the first quarter of 2009, Institutional and International entered into a $1.5 billion funding agreement. The resulting interest income and interest expense in International and Institutional, respectively, are eliminated in consolidation. Property Casualty Property Casualty is organized into five reporting segments: the underwriting segments of Personal Lines, Small Commercial, Middle Market and Specialty Commercial (collectively, Ongoing Operations); and the Other Operations segment. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, AARP accounted for earned premiums of $709 and $691, respectively, in Personal Lines. For both the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, AARP accounted for earned premiums of $1.4 billion in Personal Lines. Through inter-segment arrangements, Specialty Commercial reimburses Personal Lines, Small Commercial and Middle Market for losses incurred from uncollectible reinsurance and losses incurred under certain liability claims. Earned premiums assumed (ceded) under the inter-segment arrangements were as follows: Net assumed (ceded) earned premiums under inter-segment arrangements Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 2008 2009 2008 Personal Lines $ (2) $ (2) $ (3) $ (3) Small Commercial (6) (7) (12) (15) Middle Market (5) (8) (11) (16) Specialty Commercial 13 17 26 34 Total $ $ $ $ Financial Measures and Other Segment Information For further discussion of the types of products offered by each segment, see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in The Hartfords 2008 F

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements [Text Block]	(Dollar amounts in millions, except for per share data, unless otherwise stated) 4. Fair Value Measurements The following financial instruments are carried at fair value in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements: fixed maturities and equity securities, available-for-sale (AFS), short-term investments, freestanding and embedded derivatives, and separate account assets. These fair value disclosures include the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements of SFAS 157 and related FSPs including FSP FAS 157-4 and FSP FAS 107-1. The following section applies the SFAS 157 fair value hierarchy and disclosure requirements for the Companys financial instruments that are carried at fair value. SFAS 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs in the valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad Levels (Level 1, 2 or 3). Level 1 Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 securities include highly liquid U.S. Treasury securities, money market funds, certain mortgage backed securities, and exchange traded equity and derivative securities. Level 2 Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, for the asset or liability or prices for similar assets and liabilities. Most debt securities and preferred stocks are model priced by vendors using observable inputs and are classified within Level 2. Also included in the Level 2 category are derivative instruments that are priced using models with significant observable market inputs, including interest rate, foreign currency and certain credit swap contracts and no or insignificant unobservable market inputs. Level 3 Valuations that are derived from techniques in which one or more of the significant inputs are unobservable (including assumptions about risk). Level 3 securities include less liquid securities such as highly structured and/or lower quality asset-backed securities (ABS), commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) primarily backed by sub-prime loans, and private placement debt and equity securities. Collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) included in Level 3 primarily represent commercial real estate (CRE) CDOs and collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) which are primarily priced by independent brokers due to the illiquidity of this sector. Embedded derivatives and complex derivatives securities, including equity derivatives, longer dated interest rate swaps and certain complex credit derivatives are also included in Level 3. Because Level 3 fair values, by their nature, contain unobservable market inputs as there is little or no observable market for these assets and liabilities, considerable judgment is used to determine the SFAS 157 Level 3 fair values. Level 3 fair values represent the Companys best estimate of an amount that could be realized in a current market exchange absent actual market exchanges. In many situations, inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability position may fall into di

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Present Value of Future Profits [Text Block]	(Dollar amounts in millions, except for per share data, unless otherwise stated) 6. Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Present Value of Future Profits Changes in deferred policy acquisition costs and present value of future profits by Life and Property Casualty were as follows: Life Unlock Results During the second quarter of 2009, the Company revised its estimation of future gross profits using a Reversion to Mean (RTM) estimation technique to estimate future separate account returns. RTM is an estimation technique commonly used by insurance entities to project future separate account returns. Through this estimation technique, the Companys DAC model will be adjusted to reflect actual account values at the end of each quarter and through a consideration of recent returns, we will adjust future projected returns over a five year period so that the account value returns to the long-term expected rate of return, providing that those projected returns for the next five years do not exceed certain caps or floors. This will result in a DAC unlock, described below, each quarter. However, benefits and assessments used in the determination of SOP 03-1 reserves will be derived from a set of stochastic scenarios that have been calibrated to our reversion to mean separate account returns. The policy related in-force or account values at June 30, 2009 were used to project future gross profits using this new separate account return estimate. The after-tax impact on the Companys assets and liabilities as a result of the Unlock, which applied the RTM estimation technique, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was: Segment After-tax (Charge) Benefit DAC Unearned Revenue Reserves Death and Income Benefit Reserves [1] Sales Inducement Assets Total Retail $ 163 $ (21) $ 98 $ 13 $ 253 Retirement Plans 1 1 Individual Life 3 (1) 2 International [2] (11) 6 117 (8) 104 Total $ 156 $ (16) $ 215 $ 5 $ 360 [1] As a result of the Unlock, death benefit reserves, in Retail, decreased $307, pre-tax, offset by a decrease of $157, pre-tax, in reinsurance recoverables. In International, death benefit reserves decreased $184 pre-tax, offset by an increase of $4, pre-tax, in reinsurance recoverables.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Present Value of Future Profits (continued) In addition, during the first quarter of 2009, the Company failed its quarterly tests resulting in an Unlock of future estimated gross profits.

Note 7 - Separate Accounts, Death Benefits and Other Insurance Benefit Features
Separate Accounts, Death Benefits and Other Insurance Benefit Features [Text Block]	(Dollar amounts in millions, except for per share data, unless otherwise stated) 7. Separate Accounts, Death Benefits and Other Insurance Benefit Features The Company records the variable portion of individual variable annuities, 401(k), institutional, 403(b)/457, private placement life and variable life insurance products within separate account assets and liabilities. Separate account assets are reported at fair value. Separate account liabilities are set equal to separate account assets. Separate account assets are segregated from other investments. Investment income and gains and losses from those separate account assets, which accrue directly to, and whereby investment risk is borne by the policyholder, are offset by the related liability changes within the same line item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fees earned for administrative and contract holder maintenance services performed for these separate accounts are included in fee income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, there were no gains or losses on transfers of assets from the general account to the separate account. Many of the variable annuity and universal life (UL) contracts issued by the Company offer various guaranteed minimum death, withdrawal, income, accumulation, and UL secondary guarantee benefits. UL secondary guarantee benefits ensure that the policy will not terminate, and will continue to provide a death benefit, even if there is insufficient policy value to cover the monthly deductions and charges. Guaranteed minimum death and income benefits are offered in various forms as described in further detail throughout this Note 7. The Company reinsures a portion of the death benefit guarantees associated with its in-force block of business. Changes in the gross U.S. GMDB, Japan GMDB/guaranteed minimum income benefits (GMIB), and UL secondary guarantee benefits sold with annuity and/or UL products accounted for and collectively known as SOP 03-1 reserve liabilities are as follows: U.S. GMDB [1] Japan GMDB/GMIB [1] UL Secondary Guarantees [1] Liability balance as of January 1, 2009 $ 870 $ 229 $ 40 Incurred 185 60 14 Paid (293) (66) Unlock 742 350 Currency translation adjustment (6) Liability balance as of June 30, 2009 $ 1,504 $ 567 $ 54 [1] The reinsurance recoverable asset related to the U.S. GMDB was $927 as of June 30, 2009. The reinsurance recoverable asset related to the Japan GMDB was $41 as of June 30, 2009. The reinsurance recoverable asset related to the UL secondary guarantees was $19 as of June 30, 2009.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies [Text Block]	(Dollar amounts in millions, except for per share data, unless otherwise stated) 9. Commitments and Contingencies Litigation The Hartford is involved in claims litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, both as a liability insurer defending or providing indemnity for third-party claims brought against insureds and as an insurer defending coverage claims brought against it. The Hartford accounts for such activity through the establishment of unpaid loss and loss adjustment expense reserves. Subject to the uncertainties discussed below under the caption Asbestos and Environmental Claims, management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such ordinary-course claims litigation, after consideration of provisions made for potential losses and costs of defense, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of The Hartford. The Hartford is also involved in other kinds of legal actions, some of which assert claims for substantial amounts. These actions include, among others, putative state and federal class actions seeking certification of a state or national class. Such putative class actions have alleged, for example, underpayment of claims or improper underwriting practices in connection with various kinds of insurance policies, such as personal and commercial automobile, property, life and inland marine; improper sales practices in connection with the sale of life insurance and other investment products; and improper fee arrangements in connection with investment products and structured settlements. The Hartford also is involved in individual actions in which punitive damages are sought, such as claims alleging bad faith in the handling of insurance claims. Like many other insurers, The Hartford also has been joined in actions by asbestos plaintiffs asserting, among other things, that insurers had a duty to protect the public from the dangers of asbestos and that insurers committed unfair trade practices by asserting defenses on behalf of their policyholders in the underlying asbestos cases. Management expects that the ultimate liability, if any, with respect to such lawsuits, after consideration of provisions made for estimated losses, will not be material to the consolidated financial condition of The Hartford. Nonetheless, given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these actions, and the inherent unpredictability of litigation, an adverse outcome in certain matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations or cash flows in particular quarterly or annual periods. Broker Compensation Litigation Following the New York Attorney Generals filing of a civil complaint against Marsh McLennan Companies, Inc., and Marsh, Inc. (collectively, Marsh) in October 2004 alleging that certain insurance companies, including The Hartford, participated with Marsh in arrangements to submit inflated bids for business insurance and paid contingent commissions to ensure that Marsh would direct business to them, private plaintiffs brought several lawsuits against the Company pr

Equity [Text Block]	(Dollar amounts in millions, except for per share data, unless otherwise stated) 13. Equity Stockholders Equity Conversion of outstanding preferred to common stock On January 9, 2009, Allianz SE converted its 6,048,387 shares of Series D Preferred Stock into 24,193,548 shares of common stock. Conversion of preferred stock underlying Allianz warrants to common stock On March 26, 2009, the Companys shareholders approved the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock underlying certain warrants issued to Allianz in October 2008 into 34,308,872 shares of The Hartfords common stock. As a result of this shareholder approval, the Company is not obligated to pay Allianz any cash payment related to these warrants and therefore these warrants no longer provide for any form of net cash settlement outside the Companys control. As such, the warrants to purchase the Series C Preferred Stock were reclassified from other liabilities to equity at their fair value. As of March 26, 2009, the fair value of thesewarrants was $93. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized a gain of $70, representing the change in fair value of the warrants through March 26, 2009. Increase in authorized shares On May 27, 2009, at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders, shareholders approved an increase in the aggregate authorized number of shares of common stock from 750 million to 1.5 billion. Discretionary equity issuance program On June 12, 2009, the Company announced that it commenced a discretionary equity issuance program, and in accordance with that program entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which it is offering up to 60 million shares of its common stock from time to time for aggregate sales proceeds of up to $750. Through July 29, 2009, The Hartford has issued 1.3 million shares of common stock with net proceeds of $16 under this program. The Companys participation in the Capital Purchase Program On June 26, 2009, as part of the Capital Purchase Program (CPP) established by the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the EESA), the Company entered into a Private Placement Purchase Agreement with Treasury pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Treasury 3,400,000 shares of the Companys Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E, having a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the Series E Preferred Stock), and a ten-year warrant to purchase up to 52,093,973 shares of the Companys common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at an initial exercise price of $9.79 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $3.4 billion. Cumulative dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock will accrue on the liquidation preference at a rate of 5%per annum for the first five years, and at a rate of 9%per annum thereafter. The Series E Preferred Stock has no maturity date and ranks senior to the Companys common stock. The Series E Preferred Stock is non-voting.

Goodwill within Corporate is primarily attributed to the Companys buy-back of Life in 2000 and is allocated to the various Life reporting units. As a result of rating agency downgrades of Lifes financial strength ratings during the first quarter of 2009 and high credit spreads related to The Hartford, during the first quarter of 2009, the Company believed its ability to generate new business in the Institutional reporting unit would remain pressured for ratings-sensitive products. The Company believed goodwill associated with the Institutional line of business was impaired due to the pressure on new sales for Institutionals ratings-sensitive business and the significant unrealized losses in Institutionals investment portfolios. On June 24, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of Federal Trust Corporation, which resulted in additional goodwill of $168 in Corporate.

Acquisition of Federal Trust Corporation [Text Block]	(Dollar amounts in millions, except for per share data, unless otherwise stated) 16. Acquisition of Federal Trust Corporation On June 24, 2009, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interests in Federal Trust Corporation (FTC), a savings and loan holding company, for $10, enabling the Company to participate in the CPP. The acquisition resulted in goodwill of $168. The goodwill generated is due, in part, to the fair value discount on mortgage loans acquired in comparison to their expected cash flows. Mortgage loans acquired were fair valued at $288. Other assets acquired included $27 of fixed maturity securities, $46 of short-term investments and $3 of cash. Liabilities assumed include other liabilities of $389 in bank deposits and $149 in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and long-term debt of $25. The acquired assets and liabilities have been stated at preliminary estimates of fair value. These fair values are subject to adjustment based upon managements subsequent receipt of additional information but are not expected to be material. The Company expects to be completed with its fair value estimates as of June 30, 2010. The Company contributed $185 to FTC in June 2009 and received $20 in full repayment of amounts lent to FTC in March 2009. Federal Trust Bank, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, (the Bank) is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it may declare and distribute to The Hartford without prior regulatory notification or approval. The Bank is also subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Banks financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Banks assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Banks capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. The following tables summarize the capital thresholds for the minimum and well capitalized designations at June 30, 2009. An institutions capital category is based on whether it meets the threshold for all three capital ratios within the category. At June 30, 2009, the Banks Tier 1 capital ratio was 5.1%.

Restructuring, Severance and Other Costs [Text Block]	(Dollar amounts in millions, except for per share data, unless otherwise stated) 17. Restructuring, Severance and Other Costs In the second quarter of 2009, the Company completed a review of several strategic alternatives with a goal of preserving capital, reducing risk and stabilizing its ratings. These alternatives included the potential restructuring, discontinuation or disposition of various business lines. Following that review, the Company announced that it would suspend all new sales in Internationals Japan and European operations and that it was evaluating strategic options with respect to its Institutional businesses. The Company has also initiated plans to change the management structure of the organization and fundamentally reorganize the nature and focus of the Companys operations. These plans will result in termination benefits to current employees, costs to terminate leases and other contracts and asset impairment charges. The Company intends to complete these restructuring activities and execute final payment by December 2010. Termination benefits related to workforce reductions have been accrued in accordance with SFAS No. 112, Employers Accounting for Postemployment Benefits (SFAS 112), through June 30, 2009. Termination benefits related to workforce reductions and lease terminations in accordance with SFAS 112 and SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146), are expected to be accrued in subsequent quarters, as appropriate. Asset impairment charges have been and will be recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). The following pre-tax charges were incurred in the Companys Life operations during the three months ended June 30, 2009 in connection with the restructuring initiatives previously announced: Severance benefits $ 35 Asset impairment charges 37 Total severance and other costs for the three months ended June 30, 2009 $ 72 Amounts incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2009 were recorded in the Life Other segment as other expenses. It is expected that the total Life costs associated with restructuring, severance and other costs will be approximately $120 - $130, pre-tax, with the additional costs attributable mainly to the costs to exit various contracts. The Company may incur additional restructuring, severance or other costs in Property Casualty and Corporate in subsequent quarters. As of June 30, 2009, these costs are not estimable.
