Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | Background and Basis of Presentation The Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago is a federally chartered corporation and one of 11 Federal Home Loan Banks (the FHLBs) that, with the Office of Finance, comprise the Federal Home Loan Bank System (the System). The FHLBs are government-sponsored enterprises (GSE) of the United States of America and were organized under the Federal Home Loan Bank Act of 1932, as amended (FHLB Act), in order to improve the availability of funds to support home ownership. We are supervised and regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), an independent federal agency in the executive branch of the United States (U.S.) government. Each FHLB is a member-owned cooperative with members from a specifically defined geographic district. Our defined geographic district is Illinois and Wisconsin. All federally-insured depository institutions, insurance companies engaged in residential housing finance, credit unions and community development financial institutions located in our district are eligible to apply for membership with us. All our members are required to purchase our capital stock as a condition of membership. Our capital stock is not publicly traded, and is issued, repurchased or redeemed at par value, $100 per share, subject to certain statutory and regulatory limits. As a cooperative, we do business with our members, and former members (under limited circumstances). Specifically, we provide credit principally in the form of secured loans called advances. We also provide liquidity for home mortgage loans to members approved as Participating Financial Institutions (PFIs) through the Mortgage Partnership Finance ® (MPF ® ) Program. Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). Amounts in prior periods may be reclassified to conform to the current presentation and, if material, are disclosed in the following notes. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments have been included for a fair statement of this interim financial information. These unaudited financial statements and the following footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2017 , included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K ( 2017 Form 10-K) starting on page F-1, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Unless otherwise specified, references to we, us, our, and the Bank are to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. “Mortgage Partnership Finance”, “MPF”, “MPF Xtra”, and "Community First" are registered trademarks of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago. See the Glossary of Terms starting on page 59 for the definitions of certain terms used herein. Use of Estimates and Assumptions We are required to make estimates and assumptions when preparing our financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The most significant of these estimates and assumptions applies to fair value measurements and allowance for credit losses. Our actual results may differ from the results reported in our financial statements due to such estimates and assumptions. This includes the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of income and expense, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Basis of Presentation The basis of presentation pertaining to the consolidation of our variable interest entities has not changed since we filed our 2017 Form 10-K. The basis of presentation pertaining to our gross versus net presentation of financial instruments also has not changed since we filed our 2017 Form 10-K.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies through December 31, 2017 , can be found in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our 2017 Form 10-K. We adopted the following policies effective January 1, 2018 : Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (ASU 2016-01) We are required to recognize the portion of instrument-specific credit risk attributable to the total change in fair value of our consolidated obligations that are carried at fair value in our statements of comprehensive income. We measure such instrument-specific credit risk based on our nonperformance risk, which includes our nonperformance risk and the credit risk associated with the joint and several liability of other FHLBs. The new guidance did not have an effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows at the time of adoption. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09) The revenue recognition guidance did not have any effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows at the time of adoption. This is because the majority of our financial instruments and other contractual rights that generate revenue are covered by other GAAP, and therefore, were scoped out of this new guidance. Further, our prior method of recognizing service fee revenue was consistent with this new guidance. As a result, no cumulative effect adjustment to our opening balance of retained earnings in 2018 was required under the modified retrospective method. Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (ASU 2017-07) We are required to classify the service cost component of our net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs as compensation costs. All other components of our net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs are required to be classified as Noninterest expense - Other. Previously, our total net periodic pension and postretirement costs were classified as compensation costs. We made this classification change on a prospective rather than retrospective basis due to materiality. This classification guidance did not have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | |
Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards [Text Block] | Recently Issued but Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (ASU 2017-12) In August of 2017, the FASB issued targeted improvements to existing derivatives and hedging guidance. We will adopt this guidance as of January 1, 2019, and we may modify the risk of certain fair value hedges from contractual coupon interest rate to benchmark rate component improving hedge effectiveness. We do not expect the opening adjustment to retained earnings related to ineffectiveness recognized in prior reporting periods attributable to open cash flows hedges to be material as of January 1, 2019. We are still assessing the impact of other potential impacts of implementing ASU 2017-12 at this time. Outlined below are the significant changes to existing GAAP guidance that may have an effect on us. Newly Permitted Hedging Strategies: • Permits us to enter into a cash flow hedge of the variability in cash flows in a financial instrument that has a contractually specified interest rate. • Permits us to hedge the benchmark risk component of cash flows in a fair value hedge. • Permits us to enter into a partial-term fair value hedge of the hedged item. • Permits us to enter into last-of-layer fair value hedges. Assessment of Hedge Effectiveness: • Permits qualitative assessment of hedge effectiveness. • Enables applying the long-haul method of assessing hedge effectiveness in cases where the shortcut method was initially applied but subsequently is not or no longer is appropriate. Financial Statement Presentation: • Requires the entire change in fair value of the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge to be recorded and deferred in AOCI until reclassification to our statements of income would be required. • Requires hedge ineffectiveness to be presented in either interest income or interest expense, whichever is appropriate rather than in derivatives and hedging activities in our statements of income. • The presentation and disclosure guidance will be prospectively adopted. Transition: • Prior reporting periods are not restated. • Requires recognition of cumulative effect adjustment to AOCI with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings related to ineffectiveness recognized in prior reporting periods attributable to open cash flow hedges as of January 1, 2019. • Permits us to modify the risk hedged under the existing fair value hedges of interest rate risk with the risk under newly permitted hedging strategies as of January 1, 2019. Such an election will require an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. • We are permitted to reclassify a debt security from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale if the debt security is eligible to be hedged under the last-of-the layer method. Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13) In June of 2016, the FASB amended existing GAAP guidance applicable to measuring credit losses on financial instruments. This guidance takes effect January 1, 2020. We are in the process of reviewing the expected effect of this guidance on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Specifically, the amendment replaces the “incurred loss” impairment methodology applied under current GAAP with a “currently expected credit losses” or CECL methodology. The measurement of CECL is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial instrument’s reported amount. Upon adoption, any difference between our existing and CECL allowance for credit losses will be recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of our retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. In addition, the accounting for securities is amended as follows: • Aligns the income statement recognition of credit losses for securities with the reporting period in which changes in collectability occur by recording credit losses (and subsequent reversals) through an allowance rather than a write-down as currently required under GAAP. • Requires recognition of a credit loss on available-for-sale (AFS) securities into the income statement if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected on the security is less than its amortized cost basis. Additionally, the allowance on AFS debt securities will be limited to the amount by which fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities. Accordingly, any OTTI write-downs on securities recognized prior to January 1, 2020 may not be reversed at the time of our adoption. Improvements in expected cash flows for these securities will continue to be accounted for as yield adjustments over their remaining life. Additionally, recoveries for these securities will be recorded in earnings only when received. Leases (ASU 2016-02) In February of 2016, the FASB issued lease accounting guidance that becomes effective January 1, 2019. Upon adoption we are required to apply the guidance to the beginning of our earliest statement of income presented, that is, January 1, 2017, using the modified retrospective approach. Prior statements of income will not need to be restated. The cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, if applicable, will be recognized as of January 1, 2019. The guidance requires us to recognize and measure our operating leases as right-of-use assets, with terms that exceed 12 months, in our statements of condition. Expenses attributable to our leases will continue to be included in noninterest expense - operating expenses in our statements of income. We do not expect the new guidance to have a significant effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows since our existing off-balance sheet operating leases are not material. Fair value Measurement Disclosures (ASU 2018-13) In August of 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to existing fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The amendment removes, modifies or adds to existing fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments related to additional Level 3 disclosures should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted to remove or modify disclosures under this amendment and new disclosures required under this amendment may be deferred to the December 15, 2019 effective date. Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans Disclosures (ASU 2018-14) In August of 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to existing defined benefit plan disclosure requirements. The amendment removes certain requirements and adds a requirement to explain the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period. The amendments are effective January 1, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. We are required to apply the amendments on a retrospective basis to all periods presented.

Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure [Text Block] | Investment Debt Securities We classify debt securities as either trading, held-to-maturity (HTM), or available-for-sale (AFS). Our security disclosures within these classifications are disaggregated by major security types as shown below. Our major security types are based on the nature and risks of the security: • U.S. Government & other government related - may consist of the sovereign debt of the United States; debt issued by government sponsored enterprises (GSE); debt issued by the Tennessee Valley Authority; and securities guaranteed by the Small Business Administration. • Federal Family Education Loan Program - asset-backed securities (FFELP ABS). • GSE residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS) - issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. • Government guaranteed residential MBS. • Private label residential MBS. • State or local housing agency obligations. Pledged Collateral We disclose the amount of investment securities pledged as collateral pertaining to our derivatives activity on our statements of condition.

For further detail on our accounting policy regarding OTTI please see Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our 2017 Form 10-K. As of September 30, 2018 , we had a base case short-term housing price forecast for all markets with projected changes ranging from -10.0% to +15.0% over the twelve month period beginning July 1, 2018. For the vast majority of markets, the short-term forecast has changes ranging from +3.0% to +7.0% .

Allowance for Credit Losses [Text Block] | Allowance for Credit Losses See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in our 2017 Form 10-K for further details regarding our allowance for credit losses methodology for each of the portfolio segments discussed below. We have identified our portfolio segments as shown below: • Member credit products (advances, letters of credit and other extensions of credit to borrowers); • Conventional MPF Loans held in portfolio; • Government Loans held in portfolio; and • Federal Funds Sold and Securities Purchased Under Agreements to Resell. Member Credit Products We have not recorded any allowance for credit losses for our member credit products portfolio segment based upon our credit analysis and the repayment history on member credit products. We had no member credit products that were past due, on nonaccrual status, involved in a troubled debt restructuring or otherwise considered impaired. We have not recorded a separate liability to reflect credit losses on our member credit products with off-balance sheet credit exposure. Conventional MPF Loans Held in Portfolio For further detail of our MPF Risk Sharing Structure see page F-16 in our 2017 Form 10-K. There has been no material activity in our allowance for credit losses since December 31, 2017 . The following table presents the recorded investment and the allowance for credit losses in conventional MPF Loans by impairment methodology. As of September 30, 2018 December 31, 2017 Recorded investment - Individually evaluated for impairment $ 38 $ 49 Collectively evaluated for impairment 5,473 4,167 Recorded investment $ 5,511 $ 4,216 Allowance for credit losses - Collectively evaluated for impairment $ 1 $ 2 Government Loans Held in Portfolio Servicers are responsible for absorbing any losses incurred on Government Loans held in portfolio that are not recovered from the government insurer or guarantor. We did not establish an allowance for credit losses on our Government Loans held in portfolio for the reporting periods presented based on our assessment that our servicers have the ability to absorb such losses. Further, Government Loans were not placed on nonaccrual status or disclosed as troubled debt restructurings for the same reason. Credit Quality Indicators - MPF Loans Held in Portfolio The following table summarizes our recorded investment in MPF Loans by our key credit quality indicators, which include: • "Serious delinquency rate" consists of MPF Loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure, as a percentage of the total recorded investment. MPF Loans that are both 90 days or more past due and in the process of foreclosure are only included once in our serious delinquency rate calculation. • "Past due 90 days or more still accruing interest" consists of MPF Loans that are either insured or guaranteed by the government or conventional mortgage loans that are well secured (by collateral that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt or by the guarantee or insurance, such as primary mortgage insurance, of a financially responsible party) and in the process of collection. We do not recognize interest income on impaired conventional MPF Loans. • Conventional MPF Loans are individually evaluated for impairment when they are adversely classified. There is no allowance for credit losses attributable to conventional MPF Loans that are individually evaluated for impairment, since the related allowance for credit losses has been charged off.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities [Text Block] | Derivatives and Hedging Activities Refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2017 Form 10-K for our accounting policies for derivatives. We transact most of our derivatives with large banks and major broker-dealers. Some of these banks and broker-dealers or their affiliates buy, sell, and distribute consolidated obligations. We are not a derivatives dealer and do not trade derivatives for speculative purposes. We enter into derivative transactions through either of the following: • A bilateral agreement with an individual counterparty for over-the-counter derivative transactions. • Clearinghouses classified as Derivatives Clearing Organizations (DCOs) through Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs), which are clearing members of the DCOs, for cleared derivative transactions. Managing Interest Rate Risk We use fair value hedges to offset changes in the fair value of a benchmark interest rate, for example London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR), related to (1) a recognized asset or liability or (2) an unrecognized firm commitment. Our hedge strategy for cash flow hedges is to hedge the total proceeds received from rolling forecasted zero-coupon discount note issuances attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate or LIBOR by entering into interest rate swaps to mitigate such risk. We use economic hedges in cases where hedge accounting treatment is not permitted or achievable; for example, hedges of portfolio interest rate risk or financial instruments carried at fair value under the fair value option. Managing Credit Risk on Derivative Agreements Over-the-counter (bilateral) Derivative Transactions : We are subject to credit risk due to the risk of nonperformance by counterparties to our derivative agreements. For bilateral derivative agreements, the degree of counterparty risk depends on the extent to which master netting arrangements, collateral requirements and other credit enhancements are included in such contracts to mitigate the risk. We manage counterparty credit risk through credit analysis, collateral requirements and adherence to the requirements set forth in our policies and FHFA regulations. We require collateral agreements on all over-the-counter derivatives. Additionally, collateral related to over-the-counter derivatives with member institutions includes collateral assigned to us, as evidenced by a written security agreement, and which may be held by the member institution for our benefit. Based on credit analyses and collateral requirements, we do not anticipate any credit losses on our over-the-counter derivative agreements. See Note 16 - Fair Value in our 2017 Form 10-K for discussion regarding our fair value methodology for over-the-counter derivative assets and liabilities, including an evaluation of the potential for the fair value of these instruments to be affected by counterparty credit risk. For nearly all of our bilateral derivative transactions executed prior to March 1, 2017, and for all transactions entered into after March 1, 2017, our bilateral derivative agreements are fully collateralized with a zero unsecured threshold in accordance with variation margin requirements issued by the U.S. federal bank regulatory agencies and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). For certain transactions executed prior to March 1, 2017, we may be required to post net additional collateral with our counterparties if there is deterioration in our credit rating. If our credit rating had been lowered from its current rating to the next lower rating by a major credit rating agency, such as Standard and Poor's or Moody’s, the amount of collateral we would have been required to deliver would no t have been material at September 30, 2018 . Cleared Derivative Transactions : Cleared derivative transactions are subject to variation and initial margin requirements established by the DCO and its clearing members. As a result of rule changes adopted by our DCOs, variation margin payments are characterized as settlement of a derivative’s mark-to-market exposure and not as collateral against the derivative’s mark-to-market exposure. See Note 1 - Background and Basis of Presentation and Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q and our 2017 Form 10-K for further discussion. We post our initial margin collateral payments and make variation margin settlement payments through our FCMs, on behalf of the DCO, which could expose us to institutional credit risk in the event that the FCMs or the DCO fail to meet their obligations. Clearing derivatives through a DCO mitigates counterparty credit risk exposure because the DCO is substituted for individual counterparties and variation margin settlement payments are made daily through the FCMs for changes in the value of cleared derivatives. The DCO determines initial margin requirements for cleared derivatives. In this regard, we pledged $177 million of investment securities that can be sold or repledged, as part of our initial margin related to cleared derivative transactions at September 30, 2018 . Additionally, an FCM may require additional initial margin to be posted based on credit considerations, including but not limited to, if our credit rating downgrades. We had no requirement to post additional initial margin by our FCMs at September 30, 2018 . The following table presents details on the notional amounts, and cleared and bilateral derivative assets and liabilities on our statements of condition. To conform with our current presentation method, we reclassified variation margin for cleared derivatives as of December 31, 2017, in the amounts of $16 million on our derivative assets and $168 million on our derivative liabilities, to the appropriate interest rate contracts line items. The netting adjustment amount includes cash collateral (either received or paid by us) and related accrued interest in cases where we have a legal right, by contract (e.g., master netting agreement) or otherwise, to offset cash flow obligations between us and our counterparty into a single net payable or receivable.

We had $60 million of comparable exposure at December 31, 2017 . Fair Value Hedges The following table presents our fair value hedging results by the type of hedged item. We had no gain (loss) for hedges that no longer qualified as a fair value hedge. Additionally, the table indicates where fair value hedging results are classified in our statements of income. In this regard, the Amount Recorded in Net Interest Income column includes the following: • The amortization of closed fair value hedging adjustments, which are included in the interest income/expense line item of the respective hedged item type. • The effect of net interest settlements attributable to open derivative hedging instruments, which are recorded directly to the interest income/expense line item of the respective hedged item type.

As a result, we enter into cash flow hedge relationships utilizing derivative agreements to hedge the total net proceeds received from our "rolling" forecasted zero-coupon discount note issuances attributable to changes in LIBOR. The maximum length of time over which we are hedging this exposure is 10 years . We reclassify amounts in AOCI into our statements of income in the same periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects our earnings. We had no discontinued hedges for the periods presented. The deferred net gains (losses) on derivative instruments in AOCI that are expected to be reclassified to earnings during the next twelve months were no t material as of September 30, 2018 .

Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | Consolidated Obligations The FHLBs issue consolidated obligations through the Office of Finance as their agent. Consolidated obligations consist of discount notes and consolidated obligation bonds. Consolidated discount notes are issued to raise short-term funds, are issued at less than their face amount and redeemed at par value when they mature. The maturity of consolidated obligation bonds may range from less than one year to over 20 years , but they are not subject to any statutory or regulatory limits on maturity.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | Fair Value The following table is a summary of the fair value estimates and related levels in the hierarchy. The carrying amounts are per the statements of condition. Fair value estimates represent the exit prices that we would receive to sell assets or pay to transfer liabilities in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date. They do not represent an estimate of our overall market value as a going concern, as they do not take into account future business opportunities or profitability of assets and liabilities. We measure instrument-specific credit risk attributable to our consolidated obligations based on our nonperformance risk, which includes the credit risk associated with the joint and several liability of other FHLBs. As a result, we did not recognize any instrument-specific credit risk attributable to our consolidated obligations that are carried at fair value. See Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our 2017 Form 10-K for our fair value policies and Note 16 - Fair Value in our 2017 Form 10-K for our valuation techniques and significant inputs.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Financing Receivables [Table Text Block] | For further detail of our MPF Risk Sharing Structure see page F-16 in our 2017 Form 10-K. There has been no material activity in our allowance for credit losses since December 31, 2017 .

Past Due Financing Receivables [Table Text Block] | The following table summarizes our recorded investment in MPF Loans by our key credit quality indicators, which include: • "Serious delinquency rate" consists of MPF Loans that are 90 days or more past due or in the process of foreclosure, as a percentage of the total recorded investment. MPF Loans that are both 90 days or more past due and in the process of foreclosure are only included once in our serious delinquency rate calculation. • "Past due 90 days or more still accruing interest" consists of MPF Loans that are either insured or guaranteed by the government or conventional mortgage loans that are well secured (by collateral that have a realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt or by the guarantee or insurance, such as primary mortgage insurance, of a financially responsible party) and in the process of collection. We do not recognize interest income on impaired conventional MPF Loans. • Conventional MPF Loans are individually evaluated for impairment when they are adversely classified. There is no allowance for credit losses attributable to conventional MPF Loans that are individually evaluated for impairment, since the related allowance for credit losses has been charged off.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurement [Table Text Block] | The following table is a summary of the fair value estimates and related levels in the hierarchy. The carrying amounts are per the statements of condition. Fair value estimates represent the exit prices that we would receive to sell assets or pay to transfer liabilities in an orderly transaction with market participants at the measurement date. They do not represent an estimate of our overall market value as a going concern, as they do not take into account future business opportunities or profitability of assets and liabilities. We measure instrument-specific credit risk attributable to our consolidated obligations based on our nonperformance risk, which includes the credit risk associated with the joint and several liability of other FHLBs. As a result, we did not recognize any instrument-specific credit risk attributable to our consolidated obligations that are carried at fair value.
