Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies Business: (Globe Life), (the Company), refers to Globe Life Inc., an insurance holding company incorporated in Delaware in 1979, and Globe Life Inc. subsidiaries and affiliates. Globe Life Inc.'s direct or indirect primary subsidiaries are Globe Life And Accident Insurance Company, American Income Life Insurance Company, Liberty National Life Insurance Company, Family Heritage Life Insurance Company of America, and United American Insurance Company. The underwriting companies are owned by their ultimate corporate parent, Globe Life Inc. (Parent Company). Globe Life provides a variety of life and supplemental health insurance products to a broad base of customers. The Company is organized into three reportable segments: life insurance, supplemental health insurance, and investments. Globe Life markets its insurance products through a number of distribution channels, each of which sells the products of one or more of Globe Life's insurance segments. Our distribution channels consist of the following exclusive agencies: American Income Life Division (American Income), Liberty National Division (Liberty National) and Family Heritage Division (Family Heritage); an independent agency, United American Division (United American); and our Direct to Consumer Division (DTC). Basis of Presentation: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Globe Life have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Therefore, they do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position at June 30, 2025, and the condensed consolidated results of operations, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The interim period condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements that were included in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 26, 2025. Use of Estimates: The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See further documentation in the significant accounting policies or the accompanying notes. Reinsurance and Recapture: In the normal course of business, Globe Life insurance subsidiaries will enter into reinsurance agreements to limit their exposure to the risk of loss as well as enhance their capital position. The Company entered into a coinsurance transaction with funds withheld agreement with a third-party reinsurer on March 6, 2025, with an agreement effective date of January 1, 2025. Under the terms of the agreement Globe Life ceded 100% of the liabilities, net of existing reinsurance, associated with certain term and whole life insurance policies. The contract is accounted for under deposit accounting as it did not pass the risk transfer requirements for reinsurance treatment on a GAAP basis. Since the agreement is subject to deposit accounting and meets the right of offset conditions outlined in the accounting policy the Company recorded the initial coinsurance, ceding commission and funds withheld balance on a net basis. At inception, no cash was exchanged between the parties and subsequently, a risk charge was recorded as a component of net investment income in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, with net cash settlements occurring quarterly between the parties. On March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a recapture and termination agreement with a third-party reinsurer to recapture certain policies that had previously been ceded under a reinsurance agreement dated November 12, 2001. The recapture was executed to accomplish common objectives between the Company and the reinsurer. As a result of the transaction, the Company received net proceeds of $39 million, which are reflected as operating cash flows in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Company also recognized a gain of approximately $14 million in policyholder benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
