Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of State Auto Financial Corporation and Subsidiaries (“State Auto Financial” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. The balance sheet at December 31, 2019, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Form 10-K”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the 2019 Form 10-K. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an economic downturn on a global scale, including temporary closures of many businesses and reduced consumer spending due to shelter-in-place and other governmental regulations, as well as significant market disruption and volatility. The scope, duration and magnitude of the effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve rapidly and in ways that are difficult or impossible to anticipate. The Company cannot, at this time, predict the impact the pandemic will have on its future consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations, however, the impact could be material. The Company's future financial results and operations depend in part on the duration and severity of the pandemic and what actions are taken to mitigate the outbreak. Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost. This includes the Company's direct third party reinsurance recoverables, and the Company's share of the State Auto Group's third party reinsurance recoverables assumed via the Pooling Arrangement. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale fixed maturities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale fixed maturities management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will not be required to sell. The adoption of this guidance reduced retained earnings by $0.5 million, net of tax, and established an allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance as of January 1, 2020. Adoption of ASC 326 for available-for-sale fixed maturities was prospective, and therefore there was no adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. Changes to the Company's accounting policy resulting from the adoption of the guidance are discussed below. Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC 820 by adding, eliminating and modifying disclosures. The new guidance eliminates (i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (ii) the entity's policy for the timing of transfers between levels, and (iii) the entity's valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, the guidance now requires the disclosure of (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements, and (ii) the range and weighted average used to develop significant unobservable inputs and how the weighted average was calculated for Level 3 fair value measurements. Finally, the guidance requires entities to provide information about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date rather than a point in the future. The guidance became effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2019 and it did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, consolidated financial position or cash flows. Pending Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 which updated guidance for the accounting for income taxes. The updated guidance is intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing several exceptions contained in existing guidance and amending other existing guidance to simplify several other income tax accounting matters. The effective date of ASU 2019-12 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU has not yet been adopted; however, it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, consolidated financial position or cash flows. For information regarding other accounting pronouncements that the Company has not yet adopted, see the “Pending Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements” section of Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2019 Form 10-K. Significant Accounting Policy Updates The following accounting policies have been updated to reflect the Company's adoption of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments as described above. Investments Investments in fixed maturities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. For fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the "net investment gain (loss)" line item on the condensed consolidated statement of income. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a fixed maturity is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Description and disclosure of credit losses on fixed maturities are disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company excludes accrued interest receivable from both the estimated fair value and the amortized cost basis of available-for-sale fixed maturities and includes such amounts within "accrued investment income and other assets" on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Any uncollectible accrued interest receivable is written off in the period it is deemed uncollectible. Reinsurance Recoverables Management assesses expected credit losses on third party reinsurance recoverables for the entire State Auto Pool and, pursuant to the Pooling Arrangement (as defined in Note 6), the Company is responsible for its share of the estimated uncollectible reinsurance for the entire pool. Management uses A.M. Best’s Financial Strength ratings or equivalent such as S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch when an A.M. Best Financial Strength rating is not available to assess the credit risk of the reinsurance recoverables. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information as well as current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Description and disclosure of credit losses on reinsurance recoverables are disclosed in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Premiums Premiums are recognized as earned pro rata over the policy period. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written relative to the unexpired terms of coverage. Under the terms of the Pooling Arrangement, State Auto Mutual receives all premiums and pays all losses and expenses associated with the insurance business produced by the STFC Pooled Companies and the other pool participants, and then it settles the intercompany balances generated by these transactions with the pool participants within 60 days following each quarter end. When settling the intercompany balances, State Auto Mutual provides the pool participants with full credit for their |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies and Litigation | Contingencies and Litigation In accordance with the Contingencies Topic of the FASB's Accounting Standards Codification, the Company accrues for a litigation-related liability when it is probable that such a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The Company reviews all litigation on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. For certain legal proceedings, the Company cannot reasonably estimate a loss or a range of loss, if any, particularly for proceedings that are in their early stages of development or where the plaintiffs seek indeterminate damages. Various factors, including, but not limited to, the outcome of potentially lengthy discovery and the resolution of important factual questions, may need to be determined before probability can be established or before a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If the loss contingency in question is not both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company does not establish an accrual and the matter will continue to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. Based on currently available information known to the Company, it believes that its reserves for litigation-related liabilities are reasonable. However, in the event that a legal proceeding results in a substantial judgment against, or settlement by, the Company, there can be no assurance that any resulting liability or financial commitment would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company is involved in lawsuits in the ordinary course of its business arising out of or otherwise related to its insurance policies. Additionally, from time to time the Company may be involved in lawsuits, including class actions, in the ordinary course of business but not arising out of or otherwise related to its insurance policies. These lawsuits are in various stages of development. The Company generally will contest these matters vigorously but may pursue settlement if appropriate. Based on currently available information, the Company does not believe it is reasonably possible that any such lawsuit or related lawsuits will be material to its results of operations or have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Additionally, the Company may be impacted by adverse regulatory actions and adverse court decisions where insurance coverages are expanded beyond the scope originally contemplated in its insurance policies. The Company believes that the effects, if any, of such regulatory actions and published court decisions are not likely to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. |

The decline in fair values was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not do so before their anticipated recovery. Therefore, the Company does not consider these impaired securities. • Corporate securities: Corporations in various industries issued these securities. The decline in fair values was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. The Company reviewed the issuers of these securities to identify any significant adverse change in financial condition, a change in the quality of credit enhancement (if any), a ratings decrease, or negative outlook assignment from a major credit rating agency, and any failure to make interest or principal payments. After these reviews, the Company determined that the decline in fair values was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not do so before their anticipated recovery. Therefore, the Company does not consider these impaired securities. • U.S. government agencies mortgage-backed securities: Federal government-sponsored entities issued these securities. The decline in fair values was attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality. The Company does not intend to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not do so before their anticipated recovery. Therefore, the Company does not consider these impaired securities. The Company regularly monitors its available-for-sale fixed maturities that have fair values less than cost or amortized cost for signs of impairment, an assessment that requires significant management judgment regarding the evidence known. Such judgments could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could negatively impact the amounts reported. Among the factors that management considers for fixed maturity securities are the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. When a fixed maturity has been determined to have an impairment, the impairment charge representing the credit loss is recognized in earnings as a realized loss and on the balance sheet as an allowance for credit losses netted with the amortized cost of fixed maturities. Future increases in fair value, if related to credit factors, are recognized through earnings limited to the amount previously recognized as an allowance for credit losses. The amount related to non-credit factors is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income and future increases or decreases in fair value, if not credit losses, are included in accumulated other comprehensive income. The following table sets forth the amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale fixed maturities by contractual maturity at June 30, 2020: ($ millions) Amortized cost Fair Due in 1 year or less $ 121.1 $ 122.4 Due after 1 year through 5 years 525.8 552.0 Due after 5 years through 10 years 213.3 223.7 Due after 10 years 543.7 595.0 U.S. government agencies mortgage-backed securities 579.6 604.8 Total $ 1,983.5 $ 2,097.9 Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay the obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. At June 30, 2020, State Auto P&C had U.S. government agencies mortgage-backed fixed maturity securities, with a carrying value of approximately $166.5 million pledged as collateral for loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati ("FHLB") as further described in Note 8. In accordance with the terms of the FHLB Loans, State Auto P&C retains all rights regarding these pledged securities. At June 30, 2020, State Auto P&C had fixed maturities with fair values of approximately $30.4 million pledged as collateral for the performance obligations under its reinsurance agreement with Home State County Mutual Insurance Company. In accordance with the terms of the trust agreement, State Auto P&C retains all rights regarding these securities, which are included in the “U.S. treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies” classification of the Company’s fixed maturity securities portfolio. Fixed maturities with fair values of $9.2 million and $9.3 million were on deposit with insurance regulators as required by law at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company retains all rights regarding these securities.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Below is the fair value hierarchy that categorizes into three levels the inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value: • Level 1 includes observable inputs which reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. • Level 2 includes observable inputs for assets or liabilities other than quoted prices included in Level 1, and it includes valuation techniques which use prices for similar assets and liabilities. • Level 3 includes unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s estimates of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). The Company utilizes a nationally recognized third party pricing service to estimate the majority of its investment portfolio’s fair value. The Company obtains one price per security and the processes and control procedures employed by the Company are designed to ensure the value is accurately recorded on an unadjusted basis. Through discussions with the pricing service, the Company gains an understanding of the methodologies used to price the different types of securities, that the data and the valuation methods utilized are appropriate and consistently applied, and that the assumptions are reasonable and representative of fair value. To validate the reasonableness of the valuations obtained from the pricing service, the Company compares to fair value pricing information gathered from other independent pricing sources. At June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company did not adjust any of the prices received from the pricing service. Fixed Maturities The Company utilizes a nationally recognized third party pricing service to estimate fair value measurements for the majority of its fixed maturities. The fair value estimate of the Company’s fixed maturity investments are determined by evaluations that are based on observable market information rather than market quotes. Inputs to the evaluations include, but are not limited to, market prices from recently completed transactions and transactions of comparable securities, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, and other market-observable information. The fixed maturity portfolio pricing obtained from the pricing service is reviewed for reasonableness. The Company regularly selects a sample of security prices which are compared to one or more alternative pricing sources for reasonableness. Any significant discrepancies with the pricing are returned to the pricing service for further explanation and, if necessary, adjustments are made. To date, the Company has not identified any significant discrepancies in the pricing provided by its third party pricing service. Investments valued using these inputs include U.S. treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies, obligations of states and political subdivisions, corporate securities (except for a security discussed below), and U.S. government agencies' mortgage-backed securities. All unadjusted estimates of fair value for fixed maturities priced by the pricing service are included in the amounts disclosed in Level 2 of the hierarchy. If market inputs are unavailable, then no fair value is provided by the pricing service. For these securities, fair value is determined either by requesting brokers who are knowledgeable about these securities to provide a quote; or the Company internally determines the fair values by employing widely accepted pricing valuation models, and depending on the level of observable market inputs, renders the fair value estimate as Level 2 or Level 3. Equities The fair value of each equity security is based on an observable market price for an identical asset in an active market and is priced by the same pricing service discussed above. All equity securities are recorded using unadjusted market prices and have been disclosed in Level 1. Other Invested Assets Included in other invested assets is one international fund (“the fund”) that invests in equity securities of foreign issuers and is managed by a third party investment manager. The fund had a fair value of $47.1 million and $56.4 million at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, which was determined using the fund’s net asset value. The Company employs procedures to assess the reasonableness of the fair value of the fund, including obtaining and reviewing the fund’s audited financial statements. There are no unfunded commitments related to the fund. The Company may not sell its investment in the fund; however, the Company may redeem all or a portion of its investment in the fund at net asset value per share with the appropriate prior written notice. In accordance with ASC 820-10, this investment is measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient and has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values presented here are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The remainder of the Company’s other invested assets consist primarily of holdings in publicly-traded mutual funds. The Company believes that its prices for these publicly-traded mutual funds based on an observable market price for an identical asset in an active market reflect their fair values and consequently these securities have been disclosed in Level 1. The following tables set forth the Company’s investments within the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: ($ millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 June 30, 2020 Available-for-sale fixed maturities: U.S. treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies $ 562.5 $ — $ 562.5 Obligations of states and political subdivisions 417.2 — 417.2 Corporate securities 513.4 — 513.4 U.S. government agencies mortgage-backed securities 604.8 — 604.8 Total available-for-sale fixed maturities 2,097.9 — 2,097.9 Equity securities: Large-cap securities 111.9 111.9 — Mutual and exchange traded funds 242.7 242.7 — Total equity securities 354.6 354.6 — Other invested assets 13.3 13.3 — Total investments $ 2,465.8 $ 367.9 $ 2,097.9 ($ millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 December 31, 2019 Available-for-sale fixed maturities: U.S. treasury securities and obligations of U.S. government agencies $ 578.2 $ — $ 578.2 Obligations of states and political subdivisions 425.4 — 425.4 Corporate securities 471.8 — 471.8 U.S. government agencies mortgage-backed securities 652.5 — 652.5 Total available-for-sale fixed maturities 2,127.9 — 2,127.9 Equity securities: Large-cap securities 104.4 104.4 — Mutual and exchange traded funds 290.8 290.8 — Total equity securities 395.2 395.2 — Other invested assets 13.3 13.3 — Total investments $ 2,536.4 $ 408.5 $ 2,127.9 The following sections describe the valuation methods used by the Company for each type of financial instrument it holds that is not measured at fair value but for which fair value is disclosed: Financial Instruments Disclosed, But Not Carried, At Fair Value Other Invested Assets, at Cost Included in other invested assets, at cost are common stock of the FHLB and the Trust Securities. The Trust Securities and FHLB common stock are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of the FHLB common stock at June 30, 2020, was $12.0 million and the fair value of the Trust Securities was $0.5 million. The investments have been placed in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Notes Receivable from Affiliate In May 2009, the Company entered into two separate credit agreements with State Automobile Mutual Insurance Company (“State Auto Mutual") pursuant to which it loaned State Auto Mutual a total of $70.0 million at an interest rate of 7.00%. In May 2019, the Company refinanced the two credit agreements with State Auto Mutual at an interest rate of 4.05%, with principal payable in May 2029. The Company estimates the fair value of the notes receivable from affiliate using market quotations for U.S. treasury securities with similar maturity dates and applies an appropriate credit spread. Consequently this has been placed in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company estimates the fair value of the FHLB Loans by discounting cash flows using a borrowing rate currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms. The FHLB Loans have been placed in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount of the Subordinated Debentures approximates its fair value as the interest rate adjusts quarterly and has been disclosed in Level 3.

Favorable development of prior accident years' non-catastrophe loss and ALAE reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $12.5 million, due to favorable development in the commercial insurance segment. In the commercial insurance segment, all products developed favorably, with small commercial package, workers' compensation, and middle market commercial contributing $9.0 million, $8.8 million, and $8.0 million, respectively. Partially offsetting the favorable development was adverse development in the personal insurance segment and specialty run-off, which contributed $12.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively. The adverse development in the personal insurance segment was primarily driven by personal auto, which contributed $11.1 million of adverse development. The personal auto adverse development was driven by higher than expected severity of bodily injury claims and higher than expected frequency of property damage claims, primarily from the 2019 accident year. The specialty run-off adverse development primarily relates to an adverse court decision relating to an E&S casualty claim from 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, favorable development of prior accident year's non-catastrophe loss and ALAE reserves was $38.0 million, primarily due to favorable development in the personal and commercial segments. In the personal insurance segment, personal auto contributed $9.8 million of favorable development, primarily attributable to the 2017 and 2018 accident years. In the commercial insurance segment, workers' compensation, small commercial package, and middle market commercial contributed favorable development of $9.0 million, $7.7 million, and $6.0 million, respectively. |

Credit Loss [Abstract] | |
Credit Loss, Financial Instrument [Text Block] | 7. Current Expected Credit Losses The Company is exposed to third-party credit risk both directly through its cessions to reinsurers and indirectly through its participation in the Pooling Arrangement. In addition to exposure to credit risk on reinsurance recoverables, the Company is also exposed to credit risk on amounts due from insureds and agents through the Pooling Arrangement. When settling the intercompany balances, State Auto Mutual provides the STFC Pooled Companies with full credit for the premiums written and net losses paid during the quarter and retains all receivable amounts from insureds and agents and reinsurance recoverable on paid losses from unaffiliated reinsurers. At June 30, 2020, the determination of the allowance for credit losses for premiums receivable and reinsurance recoverables included considerations for the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's ability to collect balances due from its insureds, agents, and reinsurers. Reinsurance recoverables The State Auto Group monitors the credit quality of its reinsurance recoverables through the use of A.M. Best’s Financial Strength rating ("FSR"), or in the absence of an FSR consideration of credit ratings issued by approved rating agencies such as S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch. At June 30, 2020, the determination of the allowance for credit losses on reinsurance recoverables included analysis of (i) reinsurance recoverable balances by reinsurer FSR, (ii) estimated payment patterns associated with the claims underlying the reinsurance balances and (iii) historical default rates by reinsurer FSR as published by A.M. Best. In addition to the quantitative analysis, qualitative factors considered include but are not limited to (i) global reinsurer capital level, (ii) reinsurance market trends, (iii) the low interest rate environment and (iv) the stressed global economy, including the impact of COVID-19. The allowance for credit losses is included in the "reinsurance recoverables on losses and loss expenses payable" and "losses and loss expenses payable" line items in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s allowance for credit losses for reinsurance recoverables at June 30, 2020 is $0.8 million.

In addition to reliance upon recent and historical collection trends, determination of the allowance for uncollectible premiums receivable at June 30, 2020 included consideration of other factors, including macro economic conditions and trends, in particular the estimated impact of COVID-19. Credit risk is partially mitigated by the State Auto Group's ability to cancel a policy if the policyholder does not pay the premium due. Pursuant to the Pooling Arrangement, bad debt expense for uncollectible premiums receivable is allocated to pool members on the basis of pool participation and is included in the quarterly settlement of intercompany balances. Bad debt expense is included in "other expenses" on the condensed consolidated statements of income and reflected in “due to/from affiliates” on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table sets forth the changes in the Company’s share of the allowance for uncollectible premiums receivable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020: ($ millions) Allowance for credit losses Beginning balance at April 1, 2020 $ 7.0 Current period provision 1.9 Writeoffs (1.9) Ending balance at June 30, 2020 $ 7.0 Beginning balance at January 1, 2020 $ 4.3 Current period provision 5.6 Writeoffs (2.9) Ending balance at June 30, 2020 $ 7.0 |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes Interim Period Tax Expense Due to an increase in the frequency and severity of catastrophic events in 2020 and the uncertainty regarding the total impact of COVID-19 on the Company's future results of operations and financial condition, the Company's projections of full-year pre-tax loss and income tax benefit, as well as the projected impact of permanent tax differences and other items that are generally not proportional to full-year earnings (“permanent differences”), the Company's normal approach of using an estimated full-year effective income tax rate to determine interim period tax expense (benefit) produces an income tax provision for the current year to date period that is not meaningful. Accordingly, the Company calculated a year to date tax benefit based on the year to date loss before federal income taxes using the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate and adjusted for the estimated impact of permanent differences. The tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is the tax benefit for the six months June 30, 2020 less the tax benefit recognized at March 30, 2020. The following table sets forth the reconciliation between actual federal income tax expense and the amount computed at the indicated statutory rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019: ($ millions) Three months ended June 30 Six months ended June 30 2020 2019 2020 2019 Amount at statutory rate $ 8.7 21.0 % $ (1.6) 21.0 % $ (21.5) 21.0 % $ 11.3 21.0 % Tax-exempt interest and dividends received deduction (0.4) (0.9) (0.7) 9.0 (1.1) 1.1 (1.4) (2.6) Other, net (1.0) (2.5) 0.9 (10.7) 0.5 (0.5) 0.9 1.5 Federal income tax expense (benefit) 7.3 17.6 % (1.4) 19.3 % (22.1) 21.6 % $ 10.8 19.9 % |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment Information The Company changed its reportable segments from four to three effective January 1, 2019. The exit from the specialty insurance business resulted in the elimination of specialty insurance as a reportable segment as it no longer is material to the Company's results and is disclosed as "specialty run-off." The three remaining reportable segments are: personal insurance, commercial insurance, and investment operations. The reportable insurance segments are business units managed separately because of the differences in the type of customers they serve, the products they provide or services they offer. The insurance segments market a broad line of property and casualty insurance products throughout the United States through independent insurance agencies, which include retail agents and wholesale brokers. The investment operations segment, managed by Stateco, provides investment services. The Company evaluates the performance of its insurance segments using industry financial measurements based on Statutory Accounting Practices (“SAP”), which include loss and loss adjustment expense ratios, underwriting expense ratios, combined ratios, statutory underwriting gain (loss), net premiums earned and net written premiums. One of the most significant differences between SAP and GAAP is that SAP requires all underwriting expenses to be expensed immediately and not deferred and amortized over the same period the premium is earned. The investment operations segment is evaluated based on investment returns of assets managed by Stateco. Asset information by segment is not reported for the insurance segments because the Company does not produce such information internally. The following table sets forth financial information regarding the Company’s reportable segments and specialty run-off for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019: ($ millions) Three months ended June 30 Six months ended June 30 2020 2019 2020 2019 Revenue from external sources: Insurance operations Personal insurance $ 202.8 $ 188.3 $ 400.9 $ 369.8 Commercial insurance 137.9 118.0 270.3 234.4 Specialty run-off — 1.4 — 6.2 Total insurance operations 340.7 307.7 671.2 610.4 Investment operations Net investment income 17.7 21.7 36.6 41.1 Net investment gain (loss) 75.9 10.3 (59.3) 55.2 Total investment operations 93.6 32.0 (22.7) 96.3 All other 0.5 0.4 1.1 1.0 Total revenue from external sources 434.8 340.1 649.6 707.7 Intersegment revenue 1.5 1.6 3.1 3.2 Total revenue 436.3 341.7 652.7 710.9 Reconciling items: Eliminate intersegment revenue (1.5) (1.6) (3.1) (3.2) Total consolidated revenues $ 434.8 $ 340.1 $ 649.6 $ 707.7 Segment (loss) income before federal income tax: Insurance operations SAP underwriting (loss) gain Personal insurance $ (40.4) $ (29.9) $ (40.1) $ (25.7) Commercial insurance (12.4) (12.4) (42.4) (18.3) Specialty run-off (6.3) 0.7 (6.7) (0.7) Total insurance operations (59.1) (41.6) (89.2) (44.7) Investment operations Net investment income 17.7 21.7 36.6 41.1 Net investment gain (loss) 75.9 10.3 (59.3) 55.2 Total investment operations 93.6 32.0 (22.7) 96.3 All other — 0.1 0.1 0.2 Total segment income (loss) before reconciling items 34.5 (9.5) (111.8) 51.8 Reconciling items: GAAP expense adjustments 8.7 6.1 14.6 10.1 Interest expense on corporate debt (1.3) (1.3) (2.5) (2.5) Corporate expenses (0.3) (2.9) (2.7) (5.4) Total reconciling items 7.1 1.9 9.4 2.2 Total consolidated income (loss) before federal income tax $ 41.6 $ (7.6) $ (102.4) $ 54.0 Investable assets attributable to the Company’s investment operations segment totaled $2,770.0 million and $2,747.3 million at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Investments | Investments Investments in fixed maturities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. For fixed maturities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the "net investment gain (loss)" line item on the condensed consolidated statement of income. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a fixed maturity is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. Description and disclosure of credit losses on fixed maturities are disclosed in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Premiums | Premiums Premiums are recognized as earned pro rata over the policy period. Unearned premiums represent the portion of premiums written relative to the unexpired terms of coverage. Under the terms of the Pooling Arrangement, State Auto Mutual receives all premiums and pays all losses and expenses associated with the insurance business produced by the STFC Pooled Companies and the other pool participants, and then it settles the intercompany balances generated by these transactions with the pool participants within 60 days following each quarter end. When settling the intercompany balances, State Auto Mutual provides the pool participants with full credit for their |
New Accounting Pronouncements | Adoption of Recent Accounting Pronouncements Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost. This includes the Company's direct third party reinsurance recoverables, and the Company's share of the State Auto Group's third party reinsurance recoverables assumed via the Pooling Arrangement. In addition, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale fixed maturities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale fixed maturities management does not intend to sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will not be required to sell. The adoption of this guidance reduced retained earnings by $0.5 million, net of tax, and established an allowance for estimated uncollectible reinsurance as of January 1, 2020. Adoption of ASC 326 for available-for-sale fixed maturities was prospective, and therefore there was no adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. Changes to the Company's accounting policy resulting from the adoption of the guidance are discussed below. Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement |
Reinsurance Recoverables | Reinsurance RecoverablesManagement assesses expected credit losses on third party reinsurance recoverables for the entire State Auto Pool and, pursuant to the Pooling Arrangement (as defined in Note 6), the Company is responsible for its share of the estimated uncollectible reinsurance for the entire pool. Management uses A.M. Best’s Financial Strength ratings or equivalent such as S&P, Moody’s, or Fitch when an A.M. Best Financial Strength rating is not available to assess the credit risk of the reinsurance recoverables. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information as well as current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Description and disclosure of credit losses on reinsurance recoverables are disclosed in Note 6 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. |
