Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies Guarantees: At June 30, 2025, Globe Life had no guarantee agreements which were either Parent Company guarantees of subsidiary obligations to a third party or Parent Company guarantees of obligations between wholly-owned subsidiaries. Letters of credit—The Parent Company has guaranteed letters of credit with a group of banks in connection with its credit facility. The letters of credit were issued by TMK Re, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary, to secure TMK Re, Ltd.’s obligation for claims on certain policies reinsured by TMK Re, Ltd. that were sold by other Globe Life insurance subsidiaries. These letters of credit facilitate TMK Re, Ltd.’s ability to reinsure the business of Globe Life's insurance carriers. The credit facility was amended on March 29, 2024 and now expires in 2029. The maximum amount of letters of credit available is $250 million. The Parent Company would be liable to the extent that TMK Re, Ltd. does not pay the reinsured party. The amount of letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2025 was $115 million. Litigation: Globe Life Inc. and its subsidiaries, in common with the insurance industry in general, are subject to litigation, including: putative class action litigation; alleged breaches of contract; torts, including bad faith and fraud claims based on alleged wrongful or fraudulent acts of agents of the Parent Company's insurance subsidiaries; alleged employment discrimination; alleged worker misclassification; and miscellaneous other causes of action. Based upon information presently available, and in light of legal and other factual defenses available to the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, management does not believe that it is reasonably possible that such litigation will have a material adverse effect on Globe Life Inc.'s financial condition, future operating results or liquidity; however, assessing the eventual outcome of litigation necessarily involves forward-looking speculation as to judgments to be made by judges, juries and appellate courts in the future. This bespeaks caution, particularly in states with reputations for high punitive damage verdicts. On November 30, 2023, Globe Life Inc. and its subsidiary, American Income Life Insurance Company, received subpoenas from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania, seeking documents relating to sales practices by certain independent sales agents contracted to sell American Income Life Insurance Company policies. Globe Life Inc. and American Income Life Insurance Company cooperated fully in responding to the Department of Justice’s requests. On July 28, 2025, the Department of Justice informed the companies that it had closed its investigation. The closing of the investigation means the Department of Justice will not be taking enforcement action against Globe Life Inc. or American Income Life Insurance Company. In April 2024, Globe Life Inc. received an inquiry from the SEC's Fort Worth Regional Office requesting information related to recent short seller reports making allegations about Globe Life Inc. Globe Life Inc. provided information in response to the SEC’s requests and cooperated fully with the SEC. On July 24, 2025, SEC staff notified Globe Life Inc. that they had concluded their investigation and, based on the information gathered, did not intend to recommend an SEC enforcement action against Globe Life Inc. On April 30, 2024, a putative securities class action was filed against Globe Life Inc. and six of its current/former executives and directors in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (City of Miami Gen. Emp. & Sanitation Emp. Ret. Trust, et al. v. Globe Life Inc., et al., Case No. 4:24-cv-00376). On July 24, 2024, the Court appointed Lead Plaintiffs and Lead Counsel for the putative class of shareholders. The Lead Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Complaint on October 4, 2024 that asserts claims under §§ 10(b), 20(a), and 20(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rules 10b-5(a), 10b-5(b), and 10b-5(c) promulgated thereunder, on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of Globe Life Inc.'s securities from May 8, 2019 through April 10, 2024. The Consolidated Complaint adds four additional executives as defendants and alleges that certain of Globe Life Inc.'s disclosures about financial performance and certain other public statements during the putative class period were materially false or misleading. Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the litigation on December 3, 2024. Globe Life Inc. plans to vigorously defend against the lawsuit. Pursuant to Globe Life Inc.'s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and indemnification agreements with the named defendants, Globe Life Inc. has agreed to indemnify those defendants for all expenses and losses related to the litigation, subject to the terms of those indemnification agreements. The outcome of litigation of this type is inherently uncertain, and there is always the possibility that a Court rules in a manner that is adverse to the interests of Globe Life Inc. and the individual defendants. However, the amount of any such loss in that outcome cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Further, management cannot reasonably estimate whether an outcome on the putative class action will be resolved in the near term. Also pending in the Eastern District of Texas is a consolidated shareholder derivative suit that is closely related to the putative securities class action disclosed above (the “City of Miami Matter”). On November 7, 2024, Globe Life Inc. shareholder Jui Cheng Hsiao filed a shareholder derivative complaint against Globe Life Inc. as a nominal defendant, as well as certain current and former Globe Life Inc. executives and members of its Board of Directors. On November 14, 2024, Globe Life Inc. shareholder Gautam Jadhav filed a shareholder derivative complaint against the same set of defendants. Each shareholder derivative complaint asserts one claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the individual defendants and alleges that the individual defendants breached their fiduciary duties to Globe Life Inc. by causing or permitting Globe Life Inc. to make misleading statements about its performance and financial results. The allegations are substantially similar to the allegations made in the City of Miami Matter and derive from a short seller report. On November 25, 2024, the two shareholder plaintiffs moved to consolidate the two actions into one action and the Court granted the motion on January 3, 2025 (In re Globe Life Inc. Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 4:24-cv-00993-ALM (E.D. Tex.)). The case is before the same Court as the City of Miami Matter. On January 16, 2025, the parties filed a joint motion to stay such proceedings pending the Court’s resolution of the motion to dismiss filed by Globe Life Inc. in the City of Miami Matter. The Court granted such joint motion to stay the proceedings on January 25, 2025. On September 26, 2024, Globe Life Inc. and its subsidiary, American Income Life Insurance Company, were notified by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that the EEOC conducted an investigation of charges filed against Globe Life Inc. and/or American Income Life Insurance Company by five former sales agents and one then-current sales agent. The EEOC asserts that there is reasonable cause to believe the six complainants were employees, not independent contractors, of Globe Life Inc. and/or American Income Life Insurance Company and were discriminated against on the basis of sex, and that one complainant was also discriminated against on the basis of race. In addition, the EEOC asserts that there is reasonable cause to believe that a class of female workers were employees, not independent contractors, and were subject to unlawful conduct which also constitutes a pattern-or-practice of discrimination. The EEOC’s investigative findings are not binding on Globe Life Inc. The EEOC’s procedures provide for a conciliation process that has concluded without achieving a resolution. The EEOC may elect to file a lawsuit in federal court on behalf of the workers based on the alleged statutory violations. The EEOC has not filed any legal proceedings at this time. In the event the EEOC elects to pursue any claims in court, Globe Life Inc. intends to defend against any such lawsuit vigorously. The outcome of litigation of this type would be inherently uncertain and cannot be reasonably estimated or determined at this time. There is always the possibility that a Court rules in a manner that is adverse to the interests of Globe Life Inc.
