Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to the Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The terms “first quarter 2022” and ”first quarter 2021” refer to the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The terms “first three months of 2022” and “first three months of 2021” refer to the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs listed below include those that have been adopted during the current fiscal year and/or those that have been issued but not yet adopted as of March 31, 2022, and as of the date of this filing. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or not material. Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements Description Effective Date and Method of Adoption Effect on the Financial Statement or Other Significant Matters ASU 2018-12 : Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944); ASU 2020-11: Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date and Early Application This ASU provides targeted improvements to existing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for long-duration contracts issued by an insurance entity. The ASU primarily impacts four key areas, including: 1. Measurement of the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited payment contracts. The ASU requires companies to review, and if necessary, update cash flow assumptions at least annually for non-participating traditional and limited-payment insurance contracts. The ASU also prescribes the discount rate to be used in measuring the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited payment long-duration contracts. 2. Measurement of MRBs. MRBs, as defined under the ASU, will encompass certain GMxB features associated with variable annuity products and other general account annuities with other than nominal market risk. 3. Amortization of deferred acquisition costs. The ASU simplifies the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and other balances amortized in proportion to premiums, gross profits, or gross margins, requiring such balances to be amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term of the contracts. 4. Expanded footnote disclosures. The ASU requires additional disclosures including information about significant inputs, judgements, assumptions and methods used in measurement. In November 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-11 which deferred the effective date of the amendments in ASU 2018-12 for all insurance entities. ASU 2018-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is allowed. For the liability for future policyholder benefits for traditional and limited payment contracts, companies can elect one of two adoption methods. Companies can either elect a modified retrospective transition method applied to contracts in force as of the beginning of the earliest period presented on the basis of their existing carrying amounts, adjusted for the removal of any related amounts in AOCI or a full retrospective transition method using actual historical experience information as of contract inception. The same adoption method must be used for deferred policy acquisition costs. For MRBs, the ASU should be applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company continues to progress with implementation efforts and the evaluation of the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements. Due to its extensive nature, the adoption of the ASU is expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements, as well as systems, processes and controls. Effective January 1, 2023, the new guidance will be adopted using the modified retrospective approach, except for MRBs which will use the full retrospective approach. The Company has created a governance framework and implementation plan to ensure timely adoption of the guidance. In preparation for implementation, the Company continues to refine key accounting policy decisions, modernize processes and update internal controls. These changes include modifications of actuarial valuation systems, data sourcing, analytical procedures and reporting processes. The impact on total equity of applying this ASU is estimated to be a decrease to total equity as of March 31, 2022. The impact on total equity is mostly driven by the DAC and URR updates to amortize DAC and URR on a constant level basis, remove amortization associated with unrealized gains or losses, and excluding future deferrals in the calculation of the DAC and URR balances. Recognition of Investment Management and Service Fees Reported as investment management and service fees in the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss) are administrative fees earned by the Company related to administrative services provided to EIMG and EIM related to the establishment and maintenance of the Separate Accounts, shareholder servicing, customer support, and other similar services. Accordingly, these administrative service base fees are recorded over time as services are performed and entitle the Company to variable consideration. Base fees, generally calculated as a percentage of AUM, are recognized as revenue at month-end when the transaction price no longer is variable and the value of the consideration is determined. These fees are not subject to claw back and there is minimal probability that a significant reversal of the revenue recorded will occur. |

The Company maintains a diversified portfolio of corporate securities across industries and issuers and does not have exposure to any single issuer in excess of 1.1% of total corporate securities. The largest exposures to a single issuer of corporate securities held as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $25 million and $27 million, respectively, representing 4.6% and 3.8% of the equity of the Company. Corporate high yield securities, consisting primarily of public high yield bonds, are classified as other than investment grade by the various rating agencies, i.e., a rating below Baa3/BBB- or the NAIC designation of 3 (medium investment grade), 4 or 5 (below investment grade) or 6 (in or near default). As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, approximately $10 million and $10 million, or 0.4% and 0.4%, of the $2.5 billion and $2.4 billion aggregate amortized cost of fixed maturities held by the Company were considered to be other than investment grade. These securities had gross unrealized losses of $0 million and $0 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the $20 million and $6 million of gross unrealized losses of twelve months or more were concentrated in corporate securities. In accordance with the policy described in Note 2 of the Notes to these Financial Statements, the Company concluded that an allowance for credit losses for these securities was not warranted at either March 31, 2022 or December 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not intend to sell the securities nor will it likely be required to dispose of the securities before the anticipated recovery of their remaining amortized cost basis. Based on the Company’s evaluation both qualitatively and quantitatively of the drivers of the decline in fair value of fixed maturity securities as of March 31, 2022, the Company determined that the unrealized loss was primarily due to increases in credit spreads and changes in credit ratings. Mortgage Loans on Real Estate The Company held two commercial mortgage loans with a carrying value of $17 million at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The loans were issued prior to 2017 for apartment complex properties located in the Mid-Atlantic region. The loans were current as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 with LTV ratios between 0%-50% and DSC ratios greater than 2.0x. Accrued interest receivable as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $0 million and no accrued interest was written off for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The allowance for credit losses was $0 million as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, with a change of $0 million for the periods ended. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no loans for which foreclosure was probable included within the individually assessed mortgage loans, and accordingly had no associated allowance for credit losses. Equity Securities The table below presents a breakdown of unrealized and realized gains and (losses) on equity securities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
DERIVATIVES | DERIVATIVES The Company uses derivatives as part of its overall asset/liability risk management primarily to reduce exposures to equity market and interest rate risks. Derivative hedging strategies are designed to reduce these risks from an economic perspective and are all executed within the framework of a “Derivative Use Plan” approved by applicable states’ insurance law. The Company does not designate any derivatives as hedge accounting. Operation of these hedging programs is based on models involving numerous estimates and assumptions, including, among others, mortality, lapse, surrender and withdrawal rates, election rates, fund performance, market volatility and interest rates. A wide range of derivative contracts can be used in these hedging programs, including exchange traded equity and interest rate futures contracts as well as equity options. The derivative contracts are collectively managed in an effort to reduce the economic impact of unfavorable changes in guaranteed benefits’ exposures attributable to movements in capital markets. Derivatives Utilized to Hedge Exposure to Variable Annuities with Guarantee Features The Company has issued and continues to offer variable annuity products with GMxB features. The risk associated with the GMDB feature is that under-performance of the financial markets could result in GMDB benefits, in the event of death, being higher than what accumulated policyholders’ account balances would support. The risk associated with the GMIB feature is that under-performance of the financial markets could result in the present value of GMIB, in the event of annuitization, being higher than what accumulated policyholders’ account balances would support, taking into account the relationship between current annuity purchase rates and the GMIB guaranteed annuity purchase rates. The risk associated with products that have a GMxB derivative features liability is that under-performance of the financial markets could result in the GMxB derivative features’ benefits being higher than what accumulated policyholders’ account balances would support. For GMxB features, the Company retains certain risks including basis, credit spread and some volatility risk and risk associated with actual experience versus expected actuarial assumptions for mortality, lapse and surrender, withdrawal and policyholder election rates, among other things. The derivative contracts are managed to correlate with changes in the value of the GMxB features that result from financial markets movements. A portion of exposure to realized equity volatility is hedged using equity options and variance swaps and a portion of exposure to credit risk is hedged using total return swaps on fixed income indices. Derivatives Utilized to Hedge Crediting Rate Exposure on MSO and IUL Products/Investment Options The Company hedges crediting rates in the MSO that are in the variable life insurance products and IUL insurance products. These products permit the contract owner to participate in the performance of an index, ETF or commodity price movement up to a cap for a set period of time. They also contain a protection feature, in which the Company will absorb, up to a certain percentage, the loss of value in an index, ETF or commodity price, which varies by product segment. In order to support the returns associated with these features, the Company enters into derivative contracts whose payouts, in combination with fixed income investments, emulate those of the index, ETF or commodity price, subject to caps and buffers, thereby substantially reducing any exposure to market-related earnings volatility. The tables below present quantitative disclosures about the Company’s derivative instruments, including those embedded in other contracts required to be accounted for as derivative instruments: The following table presents the gross notional amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s derivatives: Derivative Instruments by Category March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Fair Value Fair Value Notional Derivative Assets Derivative Notional Derivative Assets Derivative (in millions) Derivatives: (1) Equity contracts: Futures $ 438 $ — $ — $ 295 $ — $ — Options 60 5 3 59 8 5 Interest rate contracts: Futures 126 — — 120 — — Other contracts: Margin — 26 — — 18 — Collateral — — 2 — — 3 Total: 624 31 5 474 26 8 Embedded derivatives: GMxB derivative features liability (2) — — (5) — — — MSO and IUL indexed features (3) — — 107 — — 132 Total embedded derivatives — — 102 — — 132 Total derivative instruments $ 624 $ 31 $ 107 $ 474 $ 26 $ 140 ______________ (1) Reported in other invested assets in the balance sheets.

Equity-Based and Treasury Futures Contracts Margin All outstanding equity-based futures contracts as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are exchange-traded and net settled daily in cash. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company had open exchange-traded futures positions on: (i) the S&P 500, Nasdaq, Russell 2000 and Emerging Market indices, having initial margin requirements of $23 million and $14 million and (ii) the 2-year, 5-year and 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes on U.S. Treasury bonds and ultra-long bonds, having initial margin requirements of $4 million and $3 million. Collateral Arrangements The Company generally has executed a CSA under the ISDA Master Agreement it maintains with each of its OTC derivative counterparties that requires both posting and accepting collateral either in the form of cash or high-quality securities, such as U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government and government agency securities and investment grade corporate bonds. The Company nets the fair value of all derivative financial instruments with counterparties for which an ISDA Master Agreement and related CSA have been executed. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, the Company held $2 million and $3 million in cash and securities collateral delivered by trade counterparties, representing the fair value of the related derivative agreements.

INSURANCE LIABILITIES | INSURANCE LIABILITIES Variable Annuity Contracts – GMDB and GMIB Features The Company has certain variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB features in-force that guarantee one of the following: • Return of Premium: the benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals); • Ratchet: the benefit is the greatest of current account value, premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals), or the highest account value on any anniversary up to contractually specified ages (adjusted for withdrawals); • Roll-Up: the benefit is the greater of current account value or premiums paid (adjusted for withdrawals) accumulated at contractually specified interest rates up to specified ages; or • Combo: the benefit is the greater of the ratchet benefit or the roll-up benefit, which may include an annual reset. Liabilities for Variable Annuity Contracts with GMDB and GMIB Features without NLG Rider Feature The change in the liabilities for variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB features and without a NLG feature are summarized in the tables below. The amounts for the direct contracts (before reinsurance ceded) and assumed contracts are reflected in the balance sheets in future policy benefits and other policyholders’ liabilities. The amounts for the ceded contracts are reflected in the balance sheets in amounts due from reinsurers. Change in Liability for Variable Annuity Contracts with GMDB and GMIB Features and No NLG Feature Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 GMDB GMIB Direct Ceded Direct Ceded (in millions) Balance, January 1, 2022 5 (5) 1 (1) Paid guarantee benefits — — — — Other changes in reserve — — 1 — Balance, March 31, 2022 $ 5 $ (5) $ 2 $ (1) Balance, January 1, 2021 4 (4) 1 (1) Paid guarantee benefits — — — — Other changes in reserve (1) 1 (1) 1 Balance, March 31, 2021 3 (3) — — Liabilities for Embedded and Freestanding Insurance Related Derivatives The liability for the GMxB derivative features and the liability for MSO and IUL indexed features are considered embedded or freestanding insurance derivatives and are reported at fair value. For the fair value of the assets and liabilities associated with these embedded or freestanding insurance derivatives, see Note 6 of the Notes to these Financial Statements. Account Values and Net Amount at Risk Account Values and NAR for direct variable annuity contracts in force with GMDB and GMIB features as of March 31, 2022 are presented in the following tables by guarantee type. For contracts with the GMDB feature, the NAR in the event of death is the amount by which the GMDB feature exceeds the related Account Values. For contracts with the GMIB feature, the NAR in the event of annuitization is the amount by which the present value of the GMIB benefits exceed the related Account Values, taking into account the relationship between current annuity purchase rates and the GMIB guaranteed annuity purchase rates. Since variable annuity contracts with GMDB features may also offer GMIB guarantees in the same contract, the GMDB and GMIB amounts listed are not mutually exclusive.

Separate Accounts Investments by Investment Category Underlying Variable Annuity Contracts with GMDB and GMIB Features The total Account Values of variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB features include amounts allocated to the guaranteed interest option, which is part of the General Account and variable investment options that invest through Separate Accounts in variable insurance trusts. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of assets, by major investment category, held by Separate Accounts that support variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GMIB features. The investment performance of the assets impacts the related Account Values and, consequently, the NAR associated with the GMDB and GMIB benefits and guarantees. Because the Company’s variable annuity contracts offer both GMDB and GMIB features, GMDB and GMIB amounts are not mutually exclusive.

At the present time, this program hedges certain economic risks on these products to the extent such risks are not externally reinsured. These programs do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Therefore, gains (losses) on the derivatives contracts used in these programs, including current period changes in fair value, are recognized in net derivative gains (losses) in the period in which they occur, and may contribute to income (loss) volatility. Variable and Interest-Sensitive Life Insurance Policies - NLG The NLG feature contained in variable and interest-sensitive life insurance policies keeps them in force in situations where the policy value is not sufficient to cover monthly charges then due. The NLG remains in effect so long as the policy meets a contractually specified premium funding test and certain other requirements. The change in the NLG liabilities, reflected in future policy benefits and other policyholders’ liabilities in the balance sheets, is summarized in the table below.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES | FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and identifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 fair values generally are supported by market transactions that occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs to model-derived valuations that are directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and often requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as an entity’s own assumptions about the cash flows or other significant components of value that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value for those instruments that are actively traded in financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured using present value or other valuation techniques. The fair value determinations are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such adjustments do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value cannot be substantiated by direct comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Management is responsible for the determination of the value of investments carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions. Under the terms of various service agreements, the Company often utilizes independent valuation service providers to gather, analyze, and interpret market information and derive fair values based upon relevant methodologies and assumptions for individual securities. These independent valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of widely accepted valuation models, provide a single fair value measurement for individual securities for which a fair value has been requested. As further described below with respect to specific asset classes, these inputs include, but are not limited to, market prices for recent trades and transactions in comparable securities, benchmark yields, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, quoted prices for similar securities, and other market-observable information, as applicable. Specific attributes of the security being valued also are considered, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector, and when applicable, collateral quality and other security- or issuer-specific information. When insufficient market observable information is available upon which to measure fair value, the Company either will request brokers knowledgeable about these securities to provide a non-binding quote or will employ internal valuation models. Fair values received from independent valuation service providers and brokers and those internally modeled or otherwise estimated are assessed for reasonableness. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis Fair value measurements are required on a non-recurring basis for certain assets only when an impairment or other events occur. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no assets or liabilities were required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below. Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2022 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) Assets: Investments: Fixed maturities, AFS: Corporate (1) $ — $ 2,238 $ 11 $ 2,249 U.S. Treasury, government and agency — 49 — 49 States and political subdivisions — 33 — 33 Foreign governments — 1 — 1 Asset-backed (2) — 29 — 29 Commercial mortgage-backed — 73 — 73 Total fixed maturities, AFS — 2,423 11 2,434 Other equity investments — 21 — 21 Other invested assets: Options — — — — Total other invested assets — — — — Cash equivalents 136 — — 136 Separate Accounts assets (3) 3,279 7 — 3,286 Total Assets $ 3,415 $ 2,451 $ 11 $ 5,877 Liabilities: GMxB derivative features’ liability $ — $ — $ (5) $ (5) MSO and IUL indexed features’ liability $ — $ 107 $ — $ 107 Total Liabilities $ — $ 107 $ (5) $ 102 ______________ (1) Corporate fixed maturities includes both public and private issues. (2) Includes credit-tranched securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, credit risk transfer securities and other asset types. (3) Separate Accounts assets included in the fair value hierarchy exclude investments not fair valued including other assets of $4 million. Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) Assets: Investments: Fixed maturities, AFS: Corporate (1) $ — $ 2,351 $ 11 $ 2,362 U.S. Treasury, government and agency — 66 — 66 States and political subdivisions — 34 — 34 Asset-backed (2) — 30 — 30 Commercial mortgage-backed — 80 — 80 Total fixed maturities, AFS — 2,561 11 2,572 Other equity investments — 23 — 23 Other invested assets: Options — 3 — 3 Total other invested assets — 3 — 3 Cash equivalents 107 — — 107 Separate Accounts assets 3,384 7 — 3,391 Total Assets $ 3,491 $ 2,594 $ 11 $ 6,096 Liabilities: GMxB derivative features’ liability $ — $ — $ — $ — MSO and IUL indexed features’ liability $ — $ 132 $ — $ 132 Total Liabilities $ — $ 132 $ — $ 132 ______________ (1) Corporate fixed maturities includes both public and private issues. (2) Includes credit-tranched securities collateralized by sub-prime mortgages, credit risk transfer securities and other asset types. Public Fixed Maturities The fair values of the Company’s public fixed maturities are generally based on prices obtained from independent valuation service providers and for which the Company maintains a vendor hierarchy by asset type based on historical pricing experience and vendor expertise. Although each security generally is priced by multiple independent valuation service providers, the Company ultimately uses the price received from the independent valuation service provider highest in the vendor hierarchy based on the respective asset type, with limited exception. To validate reasonableness, prices also are internally reviewed by those with relevant expertise through comparison with directly observed recent market trades. Consistent with the fair value hierarchy, public fixed maturities validated in this manner generally are reflected within Level 2, as they are primarily based on observable pricing for similar assets and/or other market observable inputs. Private Fixed Maturities The fair values of the Company’s private fixed maturities are determined from prices obtained from independent valuation service providers. Prices not obtained from an independent valuation service provider are determined by using a discounted cash flow model or a market comparable company valuation technique. In certain cases, these models use observable inputs with a discount rate based upon the average of spread surveys collected from private market intermediaries who are active in both primary and secondary transactions, taking into account, among other factors, the credit quality and industry sector of the issuer and the reduced liquidity associated with private placements. Generally, these securities have been reflected within Level 2. For certain private fixed maturities, the discounted cash flow model or a market comparable company valuation technique may also incorporate unobservable inputs, which reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset. To the extent management determines that such unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value measurement of a security, a Level 3 classification generally is made. Freestanding Derivative Positions The net fair value of the Company’s freestanding derivative positions as disclosed in Note 4 of the Notes to these Financial Statements are generally based on prices obtained either from independent valuation service providers or derived by applying market inputs from recognized vendors into industry standard pricing models. The majority of these derivative contracts are traded in the OTC derivative market and are classified in Level 2. The fair values of derivative assets and liabilities traded in the OTC market are determined using quantitative models that require use of the contractual terms of the derivative instruments and multiple market inputs, including interest rates, prices, and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, including overnight index swap curves, and volatility factors, which then are applied to value the positions. The predominance of market inputs is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources or reliably interpolated if less observable. Level Classifications of the Company’s Financial Instruments Financial Instruments Classified as Level 1 Investments classified as Level 1 primarily include redeemable preferred stock, trading securities, cash equivalents and Separate Accounts assets. Fair value measurements classified as Level 1 include exchange-traded prices of fixed maturities, equity securities and derivative contracts, and net asset values for transacting subscriptions and redemptions of mutual fund shares held by Separate Accounts. Cash equivalents classified as Level 1 include money market accounts, overnight commercial paper and highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and are carried at cost as a proxy for fair value measurement due to their short-term nature. Financial Instruments Classified as Level 2 Investments classified as Level 2 are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and primarily include U.S. government and agency securities and certain corporate debt securities, such as public and private fixed maturities. As market quotes generally are not readily available or accessible for these securities, their fair value measures are determined utilizing relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable securities and often are based on model pricing techniques that effectively discount prospective cash flows to present value using appropriate sector-adjusted credit spreads commensurate with the security’s duration, also taking into consideration issuer-specific credit quality and liquidity. Observable inputs generally used to measure the fair value of securities classified as Level 2 include benchmark yields, reported secondary trades, issuer spreads, benchmark securities and other reference data. Additional observable inputs are used when available, and as may be appropriate, for certain security types, such as prepayment, default, and collateral information for the purpose of measuring the fair value of mortgage- and asset-backed securities. The Company’s AAA-rated mortgage- and asset-backed securities are classified as Level 2 for which the observability of market inputs to their pricing models is supported by sufficient, albeit more recently contracted, market activity in these sectors. Certain Company products, such as IUL and the MSO fund available in some life contracts offer investment options which permit the contract owner to participate in the performance of an index, ETF or commodity price. These investment options, which depending on the product and on the index selected can currently have one, three, five or six year terms, provide for participation in the performance of specified indices, ETF or commodity price movement up to a segment-specific declared maximum rate. Under certain conditions that vary by product, e.g., holding these segments for the full term, these segments also shield policyholders from some or all negative investment performance associated with these indices, ETF or commodity prices. These investment options have defined formulaic liability amounts, and the current values of the option component of these segment reserves are accounted for as Level 2 embedded derivatives. The fair values of these embedded derivatives are based on data obtained from independent valuation service providers. Financial Instruments Classified as Level 3 The Company’s investments classified as Level 3 primarily include corporate debt securities, such as private fixed maturities and asset-backed securities. Determinations to classify fair value measures within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy generally are based upon the significance of the unobservable factors to the overall fair value measurement. Included in the Level 3 classification are fixed maturities with indicative pricing obtained from brokers that otherwise could not be corroborated to market observable data. The Company also issues certain benefits on its variable annuity products that are accounted for as derivatives and are also considered Level 3. The GMIB NLG feature allows the policyholder to receive guaranteed minimum lifetime annuity payments based on predetermined annuity purchase rates applied to the contract’s benefit base if and when the contract account value is depleted and the NLG feature is activated. The valuations of the GMxB derivative features liability incorporate significant non-observable assumptions related to policyholder behavior, risk margins and and equity projections of Separate Account funds. The credit risk of the Company is considered in determining the fair values of its GMxB derivative features liability positions. Incremental adjustment to the U.S. Treasury curve for non-performance risk is made to the fair values of the liabilities and GMIB NLG feature to reflect the claims-paying ratings of the Company. Equity and fixed income volatilities were modeled to reflect current market volatilities. Due to the unique, long duration of the GMIB NLG feature, adjustments were made to the equity volatilities to remove the illiquidity bias associated with the longer tenors and risk margins were applied to the non-capital markets inputs to the GMIB NLG valuations. Lapse rates are adjusted at the contract level based on a comparison of the actuarial calculated guaranteed values and the current policyholder account value, which include other factors such as considering surrender charges. Generally, lapse rates are assumed to be lower in periods when a surrender charge applies. A dynamic lapse function reduces the base lapse rate when the guaranteed amount is greater than the account value as in the money contracts are less likely to lapse. For valuing the embedded derivative, lapse rates vary throughout the period over which cash flows are projected. Transfers of Financial Instruments Between Levels 2 and 3 During the year ended March 31, 2022, there were no AFS fixed maturities transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 2 or AFS fixed maturities transferred out of Level 2 and into Level 3. During the year ended March 31, 2021, fixed maturities with fair values of $0 million were transferred from Level 2 into the Level 3 classification principally due to the availability of trading activity and/or market observable inputs to measure and validate their fair values. These transfers in the aggregate represent approximately 0% of total equity as of March 31, 2021. The tables below present reconciliations for all Level 3 assets and liabilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Quantitative and Qualitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements The following tables disclose quantitative information about Level 3 fair value measurements by category for assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2022 Fair Valuation Technique Significant Range Weighted Average (in millions) Assets: Investments: Fixed maturities, AFS: Corporate $ 9 Matrix pricing Spread over Benchmark 70 bps - 195 bps 101 bps Liabilities: GMIB NLG 5 Discounted cash flow Non-performance risk Quantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2021 Fair Value Valuation Technique Significant Unobservable Input Range Weighted Average (in millions) Assets: Investments: Fixed maturities, AFS: Corporate $ 9 Matrix pricing model Spread over benchmark 70 bps - 145 bps 104 bps Level 3 Financial Instruments for which Quantitative Inputs are Not Available Certain Privately Placed Debt Securities with Limited Trading Activity Excluded from the tables above as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, are approximately $2 million and $2 million of Level 3 fair value measurements of investments for which the underlying quantitative inputs are not developed by the Company and are not readily available. These investments primarily consist of certain privately placed debt securities with limited trading activity, and their fair values generally reflect unadjusted prices obtained from independent valuation service providers and indicative, non-binding quotes obtained from third-party broker-dealers recognized as market participants. Significant increases or decreases in the fair value amounts received from these pricing sources may result in the Company’s reporting significantly higher or lower fair value measurements for these Level 3 investments. • The fair value of private placement securities is determined by application of a matrix pricing model or a market comparable company value technique. The significant unobservable input to the matrix pricing model valuation technique is the spread over the industry-specific benchmark yield curve. Generally, an increase or decrease in spreads would lead to directionally inverse movement in the fair value measurements of these securities. The significant unobservable input to the market comparable company valuation technique is the discount rate. Generally, a significant increase (decrease) in the discount rate would result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements of these securities. GMxB Derivative Features Liability Significant unobservable inputs with respect to the fair value measurement of the Level 3 liabilities identified in the table above are developed using Company data. Fair value measurement of the GMIB liabilities includes dynamic lapse and GMIB utilization assumptions whereby projected contractual lapses and GMIB utilization reflect the projected net amount of risks of the contract. As the net amount of risk of a contract increases, the assumed lapse rate decreases and the GMIB utilization increases. Increases in volatility would increase the asset and liabilities. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s GMIB NLG liability are lapse rates, withdrawal rates, GMIB utilization rates, adjustment for non-performance risk and NLG forfeiture rates. NLG forfeiture rates are caused by excess withdrawals above the annual GMIB accrual rate that cause the NLG to expire. Significant decreases in lapse rates, NLG forfeiture rates, adjustment for non-performance risk and GMIB utilization rates would tend to increase the GMIB NLG liability, while decreases in withdrawal rates and volatility rates would tend to decrease the GMIB NLG liability. Carrying Value of Financial Instruments Not Otherwise Disclosed in Note 3 and Note 4 of the Notes to these Financial Statements The carrying values and fair values as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 for financial instruments not otherwise disclosed in Note 3 and Note 4 of the Notes to these Financial Statements are presented in the table below. Carrying Values and Fair Values for Financial Instruments Not Otherwise Disclosed Carrying Value Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total (in millions) March 31, 2022: Mortgage loans on real estate $ 17 $ — $ — $ 17 $ 17 Policy loans $ 238 $ — $ — $ 288 $ 288 Policyholders’ liabilities: Investment contracts $ 119 $ — $ — $ 117 $ 117 December 31, 2021: Mortgage loans on real estate $ 17 $ — $ — $ 18 $ 18 Policy loans $ 238 $ — $ — $ 292 $ 292 Policyholders’ liabilities: Investment contracts $ 120 $ — $ — $ 124 $ 124 Mortgage Loans on Real Estate Fair values for commercial mortgage loans on real estate are measured by discounting future contractual cash flows to be received on the mortgage loan using interest rates at which loans with similar characteristics and credit quality would be made. The discount rate is derived based on the appropriate U.S. Treasury rate with a like term to the remaining term of the loan to which a spread reflective of the risk premium associated with the specific loan is added. Fair values for mortgage loans anticipated to be foreclosed and problem mortgage loans are limited to the fair value of the underlying collateral, if lower. Policy Loans The fair value of policy loans is calculated by discounting expected cash flows based upon the U.S. Treasury yield curve and historical loan repayment patterns. Policyholder Liabilities - Investment Contracts and Separate Accounts Liabilities The fair values for deferred annuities and certain annuities, which are included in policyholders’ account balances and liabilities for investment contracts with fund investments in Separate Accounts are estimated using projected cash flows discounted at rates reflecting current market rates. Significant unobservable inputs reflected in the cash flows include lapse rates and withdrawal rates. Incremental adjustments may be made to the fair value to reflect non-performance risk. Certain other products such as the Company’s association plans contracts, supplementary contracts not involving life contingencies, Access Accounts and Escrow Shield Plus product reserves are held at book value. Financial Instruments Exempt from Fair Value Disclosure or Otherwise Not Required to be Disclosed Exempt from Fair Value Disclosure Requirements Certain financial instruments are exempt from the requirements for fair value disclosure, such as insurance liabilities other than financial guarantees and investment contracts and pension and other postretirement obligations. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Litigation Litigation, regulatory and other loss contingencies arise in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. The Company is a defendant in litigation matters arising from the conduct of its business. In some of these matters, claimants seek to recover very large or indeterminate amounts, including compensatory, punitive, treble and exemplary damages. Modern pleading practice permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages and other relief. Claimants are not always required to specify the monetary damages they seek, or they may be required only to state an amount sufficient to meet a court’s jurisdictional requirements. Moreover, some jurisdictions allow claimants to allege monetary damages that far exceed any reasonably possible verdict. The variability in pleading requirements and past experience demonstrates that the monetary and other relief that may be requested in a lawsuit or claim often bears little relevance to the merits or potential value of a claim. The outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter is difficult to predict, and the amount or range of potential losses associated with these or other loss contingencies requires significant management judgment. It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome or to provide reasonably possible losses or ranges of losses for all pending regulatory matters, litigation and other loss contingencies. While it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain cases could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position, based on information currently known, management believes that neither the outcome of pending litigation and regulatory matters, nor potential liabilities associated with other loss contingencies, are likely to have such an effect. However, given the large and indeterminate amounts sought in certain litigation and the inherent unpredictability of all such matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company’s litigation or regulatory matters, or liabilities arising from other loss contingencies, could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarterly or annual period. For some matters, the Company is able to estimate a range of loss. For such matters in which a loss is probable, an accrual has been made. For matters where the Company believes a loss is reasonably possible, but not probable, no accrual is required. For matters for which an accrual has been made, but there remains a reasonably possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued or for matters where no accrual is required, the Company develops an estimate of the unaccrued amounts of the reasonably possible range of losses . As of March 31, 2022, the Company estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of any amounts accrued for these matters as of such date, to be up to approximately $5 million. For other matters, the Company is currently not able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. The Company is often unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from plaintiffs and other parties, investigation of factual allegations, rulings by a court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts and the progress of settlement discussions. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation and regulatory contingencies and updates the Company’s accruals, disclosures and reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews. Guarantees and Other Commitments The Company has no outstanding commitments under existing mortgage loans or mortgage loan commitment agreements at March 31, 2022. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim financial statements (the “financial statements”) have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP” or “GAAP”) on a basis consistent with reporting interim financial information in accordance with instructions to the Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The terms “first quarter 2022” and ”first quarter 2021” refer to the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The terms “first three months of 2022” and “first three months of 2021” refer to the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to U.S. GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”) to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs listed below include those that have been adopted during the current fiscal year and/or those that have been issued but not yet adopted as of March 31, 2022, and as of the date of this filing. ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or not material. Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements Description Effective Date and Method of Adoption Effect on the Financial Statement or Other Significant Matters ASU 2018-12 : Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944); ASU 2020-11: Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Effective Date and Early Application This ASU provides targeted improvements to existing recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for long-duration contracts issued by an insurance entity. The ASU primarily impacts four key areas, including: 1. Measurement of the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited payment contracts. The ASU requires companies to review, and if necessary, update cash flow assumptions at least annually for non-participating traditional and limited-payment insurance contracts. The ASU also prescribes the discount rate to be used in measuring the liability for future policy benefits for traditional and limited payment long-duration contracts. 2. Measurement of MRBs. MRBs, as defined under the ASU, will encompass certain GMxB features associated with variable annuity products and other general account annuities with other than nominal market risk. 3. Amortization of deferred acquisition costs. The ASU simplifies the amortization of deferred acquisition costs and other balances amortized in proportion to premiums, gross profits, or gross margins, requiring such balances to be amortized on a constant level basis over the expected term of the contracts. 4. Expanded footnote disclosures. The ASU requires additional disclosures including information about significant inputs, judgements, assumptions and methods used in measurement. In November 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-11 which deferred the effective date of the amendments in ASU 2018-12 for all insurance entities. ASU 2018-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. Early adoption is allowed. For the liability for future policyholder benefits for traditional and limited payment contracts, companies can elect one of two adoption methods. Companies can either elect a modified retrospective transition method applied to contracts in force as of the beginning of the earliest period presented on the basis of their existing carrying amounts, adjusted for the removal of any related amounts in AOCI or a full retrospective transition method using actual historical experience information as of contract inception. The same adoption method must be used for deferred policy acquisition costs. For MRBs, the ASU should be applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company continues to progress with implementation efforts and the evaluation of the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on the Company’s financial statements. Due to its extensive nature, the adoption of the ASU is expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements, as well as systems, processes and controls. Effective January 1, 2023, the new guidance will be adopted using the modified retrospective approach, except for MRBs which will use the full retrospective approach. The Company has created a governance framework and implementation plan to ensure timely adoption of the guidance. In preparation for implementation, the Company continues to refine key accounting policy decisions, modernize processes and update internal controls. These changes include modifications of actuarial valuation systems, data sourcing, analytical procedures and reporting processes. The impact on total equity of applying this ASU is estimated to be a decrease to total equity as of March 31, 2022. The impact on total equity is mostly driven by the DAC and URR updates to amortize DAC and URR on a constant level basis, remove amortization associated with unrealized gains or losses, and excluding future deferrals in the calculation of the DAC and URR balances. |
Recognition of Investment Management and Service Fees | Recognition of Investment Management and Service Fees Reported as investment management and service fees in the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss) are administrative fees earned by the Company related to administrative services provided to EIMG and EIM related to the establishment and maintenance of the Separate Accounts, shareholder servicing, customer support, and other similar services. Accordingly, these administrative service base fees are recorded over time as services are performed and entitle the Company to variable consideration. Base fees, generally calculated as a percentage of AUM, are recognized as revenue at month-end when the transaction price no longer is variable and the value of the consideration is determined. These fees are not subject to claw back and there is minimal probability that a significant reversal of the revenue recorded will occur. |
Fair Value Disclosures | U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and identifies three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 1 fair values generally are supported by market transactions that occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices in markets that are not active, and inputs to model-derived valuations that are directly observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and often requiring significant management judgment or estimation, such as an entity’s own assumptions about the cash flows or other significant components of value that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The Company uses unadjusted quoted market prices to measure fair value for those instruments that are actively traded in financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured using present value or other valuation techniques. The fair value determinations are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, including estimates of the timing and amount of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of counterparties. Such adjustments do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value cannot be substantiated by direct comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. Management is responsible for the determination of the value of investments carried at fair value and the supporting methodologies and assumptions. Under the terms of various service agreements, the Company often utilizes independent valuation service providers to gather, analyze, and interpret market information and derive fair values based upon relevant methodologies and assumptions for individual securities. These independent valuation service providers typically obtain data about market transactions and other key valuation model inputs from multiple sources and, through the use of widely accepted valuation models, provide a single fair value measurement for individual securities for which a fair value has been requested. As further described below with respect to specific asset classes, these inputs include, but are not limited to, market prices for recent trades and transactions in comparable securities, benchmark yields, interest rate yield curves, credit spreads, quoted prices for similar securities, and other market-observable information, as applicable. Specific attributes of the security being valued also are considered, including its term, interest rate, credit rating, industry sector, and when applicable, collateral quality and other security- or issuer-specific information. When insufficient market observable information is available upon which to measure fair value, the Company either will request brokers knowledgeable about these securities to provide a non-binding quote or will employ internal valuation models. Fair values received from independent valuation service providers and brokers and those internally modeled or otherwise estimated are assessed for reasonableness. |

Variable Annuity Contracts with GMDB and GMIB Features | Account Values and NAR for direct variable annuity contracts in force with GMDB and GMIB features as of March 31, 2022 are presented in the following tables by guarantee type. For contracts with the GMDB feature, the NAR in the event of death is the amount by which the GMDB feature exceeds the related Account Values. For contracts with the GMIB feature, the NAR in the event of annuitization is the amount by which the present value of the GMIB benefits exceed the related Account Values, taking into account the relationship between current annuity purchase rates and the GMIB guaranteed annuity purchase rates. Since variable annuity contracts with GMDB features may also offer GMIB guarantees in the same contract, the GMDB and GMIB amounts listed are not mutually exclusive.
