Policyholder Account Balances, Future Policy Benefits and Claims and Separate Account Liabilities [Abstract]  
Liabilities for Future Policy Benefits LIABILITY FOR FUTURE POLICY BENEFITS
Liability for Future Policy Benefits primarily consists of the following sub-components, which are discussed in greater detail below:

Benefit Reserves;
Deferred Profit Liability (“DPL”); and
Additional Insurance Reserves (“AIR”)

In 2025, the Company recognized a favorable impact to net income attributable to its annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements for Liability for Future Policy Benefits. The impact was favorable for direct and assumed Benefit Reserves and DPL, net of the impact of flooring these liabilities at zero for each issue year cohort, primarily due to updates to mortality assumptions in Individual Life Insurance, partially offset by unfavorable updates for morbidity in Long-Term Care (“LTC”) and mortality in Institutional Retirement Strategies. Additionally, there was a favorable impact for direct and assumed AIR, primarily due to offsetting impacts from updated policyholder behavior assumptions and mortality assumptions on universal life policies.

In 2024, the Company recognized a favorable impact to net income attributable to its annual reviews and update of assumptions and other refinements for Liability for Future Policy Benefits. The impact was favorable for direct and assumed Benefit Reserves and DPL, net of the impact of flooring these liabilities at zero for each issue year cohort, primarily due to updates to mortality assumptions in Institutional Retirement Strategies and LTC, partially offset by unfavorable updates to policyholder behavior assumptions on certain life policies in International Businesses. Additionally, there was an unfavorable impact for direct and assumed AIR, primarily due to updates to policyholder behavior assumptions on universal life policies with secondary guarantees in Individual Life.
Benefit Reserves

The balances of and changes in Benefit Reserves as of and for the periods indicated consist of the three tables presented below: Present Value of Expected Net Premiums rollforward, Present Value of Expected Future Policy Benefits rollforward, and Net Liability for Future Policy Benefits.

For additional information regarding observable market information and the techniques used to determine the interest rate assumptions seen above, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
For non-participating traditional and limited-payment products, if a cohort is in a loss position where the liability for future policy benefits plus the present value of expected future gross premiums are determined to be insufficient to provide for the present value of expected future policy benefits and non-level claim settlement expenses, then the liability for future policy benefits is adjusted at that time, and thereafter, such that all changes, both favorable and unfavorable, in expected benefits resulting from both actual experience deviations and changes in future assumptions are recognized immediately as a gain or loss respectively.

For both the first six months of 2025 and 2024, there was an immaterial impact to net income for non-participating traditional and limited-payment products, where net premiums exceeded gross premiums for certain issue-year cohorts.

Under this program, which has a maximum authorized amount of $15 billion of medium-term notes and $6 billion of commercial paper, Delaware statutory trusts issue short-term commercial paper and/or medium-term notes to investors that are secured by funding agreements issued to the trusts by PICA. The outstanding commercial paper and notes have fixed or floating interest rates that range from 0.0% to 5.6% and original maturities ranging from zero months to ten years. Included in the amounts at June 30, 2025 and 2024 are funding agreements that secure the medium-term note liability, which are carried at amortized cost, of $4,742 million and $3,474 million, respectively, and short-term note liability of $2,834 million and $1,994 million, respectively, and Retail Note liability of $257 million and $0 million, respectively.

The Company issues variable life and universal life insurance contracts which may also include a “no-lapse guarantee” where the Company contractually guarantees to the contractholder a death benefit even when the account value drops to zero, as long as the “no-lapse guarantee” premium is paid.

The net amount at risk is generally defined as the current death benefit in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date. The Company’s primary risk exposures for these contracts relates to actual deviations from, or changes to,
the assumptions used in the original pricing of these products, including contractholder mortality, contract lapses, and premium pattern, as well as interest rate and equity market returns.

The Company also issues annuity contracts that provide certain death benefit and/or living benefit guarantees and are accounted for as MRBs. See Note 11 for additional information, including the net amount at risk associated with these guarantees.

(1)Prior period amounts have been updated to conform to current presentation.

In both 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized an unfavorable impact to net income attributable to the actuarial assumption update for direct and assumed MRBs, primarily due to updates to policyholder behavior assumptions.

The Company issues certain variable annuity insurance contracts where the Company contractually guarantees to the contractholder a return of no less than (1) total deposits made to the contract adjusted for any partial withdrawals plus a minimum return, and/or (2) the highest anniversary contract value on a specified date adjusted for any withdrawals. These guarantees include benefits that are payable in the event of death, annuitization or at specified dates during the accumulation period and withdrawal and income benefits payable during specified periods.

The Company also issues indexed annuity contracts for which the return is tied to the return of specific indices where the Company contractually guarantees to the contractholder a return of no less than total deposits made to the contract adjusted for any partial withdrawals upon death. In certain of these indexed annuity contracts, the Company also contractually guarantees to the contractholder withdrawal benefits payable during specific periods.

For guarantees of benefits that are payable in the event of death, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the current guaranteed minimum death benefit in excess of the current account balance at the balance sheet date. The Company’s primary risk exposures for these contracts relates to actual deviations from, or changes to, the assumptions used in the original pricing of these products, including fixed income and equity market returns, contract lapses and contractholder mortality.

For guarantees of benefits that are payable at annuitization, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the present value of the minimum guaranteed annuity payments available to the contractholder determined in accordance with the terms of the contract in excess of the current account balance. The Company’s primary risk exposures for these contracts relates to actual deviations from, or changes to, the assumptions used in the original pricing of these products, including fixed income and equity market returns, timing of annuitization, contract lapses and contractholder mortality.
For guarantees of benefits that are payable at withdrawal, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the present value of the minimum guaranteed withdrawal payments available to the contractholder determined in accordance with the terms of the contract in excess of the current account balance.

For guarantees of accumulation balances, the net amount at risk is generally defined as the guaranteed minimum accumulation balance minus the current account balance. The Company’s primary risk exposures for these contracts relates to actual deviations from, or changes to, the assumptions used in the original pricing of these products, including equity market returns, interest rates, market volatility and contractholder behavior.
