Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block]
Principal Risks Of Investing In The Contract
 
There are risks associated with investing in the Contract. The Contract is a “variable” annuity because the value of your Contract can go up or down based on the performance of your Subaccounts.  When you invest in the Separate Account, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your Contract during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of your Subaccounts and each Subaccount may have its own unique risks. You could lose the amount you allocate to a Subaccount.
 
Risks of an Increase in Current Fees and Expenses. Certain fees and expenses are currently assessed at less than their guaranteed maximum levels. In the future, these charges may be increased up to the guaranteed (maximum) levels.
 
Investment Risk. You bear the risk of any decline in the Contract value caused by the performance of the Underlying Investments held by the Subaccounts. Those investments could decline in value very significantly, and there is a risk of loss of your entire amount invested. The risk of loss varies with each Underlying Investment. This risk could have a significant negative impact on the value of certain benefits offered under the Contract. The investment risks described in the prospectuses are for the Underlying Investments.
 
Risks of Managing General Account Assets. The general account assets of the Company are used to support the payment of guaranteed benefits under the Contract. To the extent that the Company is required to pay amounts in addition to the Contract Value, such amounts will come from our general account assets. You should be aware that the general account assets are exposed to the risks normally associated with a portfolio of fixed-income securities, including interest rate, option, liquidity and credit risk, and are also subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors. The Company’s financial statements contained in the Statement of Additional Information include a further discussion of risks inherent in the general account investments.
Insurance Company Insolvency. It is possible that we could experience financial difficulty in the future and even become insolvent, and therefore unable to provide all of the guarantees and benefits that exceed the assets in the Separate Account that we promise.
 
Tax Consequences. The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawals are generally restricted prior to age 59½, otherwise, a tax penalty may apply. The ultimate effect of federal income taxes on payments and on the economic benefit to the Participant, annuitant, payee and beneficiary depends on the tax and employment status of the individual concerned.
Cyber Security and Business Continuity Risks. Our operations support complex transactions and are highly dependent on the proper functioning of information technology and communication systems. Any failure of or gap in the systems and processes necessary to support complex transactions and avoid systems failure, fraud, information security failures, processing errors, cyber intrusion, loss of data, and breaches of regulation may lead to a materially adverse effect on our administration of the Contract. We cannot assure you that interruptions, failures, or breaches in security of these processes and systems will not occur, or if they do occur, that they can be timely detected and remediated. Also, our business operations may be adversely affected by volatile natural and man-made disasters, including (but not limited to) hurricanes, earthquakes, terrorism, civil unrest, geopolitical disputes, military action, fires and explosions, pandemic diseases, and other catastrophes. Such events may impact the availability and capacity of our key personnel and may have a materially adverse effect on our administration of the Contract. See “Non-Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract” in the SAI for additional information.
 
Market Risks. The market values of the Portfolio Companies’ securities and other assets will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, due to changes in general market conditions, overall economic trends or events, governmental actions or interventions. See “Non-Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract” in the SAI for additional information.

Benefits under the Contract
 
The following table summarizes information about the benefits available under the Contract:
 
Name of Benefit
Purpose
Standard or Optional
Maximum Fee
Brief Description of Restrictions/Limitations
Death Benefit
Provides a death benefit to the beneficiary.
Standard
No Charge
Only payable if the Participant dies before the Annuity Purchase Date.  
 
Example: Assuming that the participant has died and has not yet purchased a fixed annuity, the participant’s beneficiary will receive the full account value once the death claim is submitted.
 
Death Benefit
Under Section 403(b), Section 457, and 408(IRA) Contracts, if a Participant dies before the Annuity Purchase Date, the value of his/her Accumulation Account will be paid to the beneficiary in a lump sum or, if the beneficiary is under the age of 75 at the time of the Participant’s death, the beneficiary may elect to have the Accumulation Amount applied to provide a Fixed Annuity.
A lump sum payment to some extent may be taxed as ordinary income to the beneficiary in the year received. A beneficiary should consider the possible tax advantages to electing an annuity. Under Section 401(a) and/or Section 401(k) Contracts, however, the underlying tax-qualified Plan is generally required to provide that in the case of a married Participant, a survivorship annuity death benefit will be paid to the surviving spouse if the Participant dies prior to retirement. In each case involving Section 401(a) and/or Section 401(k) Contracts, reference must be made to the underlying Plan for additional information.
 
If the Participant dies before the Annuity StartDate, his/her entire interest must generally be distributed as follows: (1) if there is no designated beneficiary (for example, the Participant does not name an individual beneficiary or the beneficiary chosen is the Participant’s estate), then it must be fully distributed by the end of the fifth year following the year of death (and if required distributions began prior to the Participant’s death then the remaining balance also must be distributed at least as rapidly as it was during the Participant’s life), (2) if payable to a designated beneficiary (e.g. an individual), then it must be fully distributed by the end of the tenth year following the year of death, or (3) if payable to an eligible designated beneficiary, then the eligible designated beneficiary may elect to have his/her interest distributed over their life  or over a period not extending beyond their life expectancy, beginning within one year after the date of death.  An eligible designated beneficiary includes the Participant’s surviving spouse or minor child, a disabled individual, a chronically ill individual, or an individual who is not more than 10 years younger than the Participant. Certain trusts created for the exclusive benefit of disabled or chronically ill beneficiaries are included.  The Participant’s minor child must still take remaining distributions within 10 years once they reach the age of majority as defined by the IRS.  If the beneficiary is the Participant’s spouse, distributions are not required to be made until the date that would have been the decedent’s Required Beginning Date.. If the spouse dies before distributions begin, the rules discussed above will apply as if the spouse were the Participant (owner).
 
If a lump sum payment is elected, the Accumulation Account value will be determined on the Valuation Date for the Valuation Period in which a certified copy of the death certificate evidencing the Participant’s death is received by TFLIC. If the beneficiary is under age 75 at the time of the Participant’s death and elects a Fixed Annuity, the Accumulation Account value will be determined on the Valuation Date for the Valuation Period of the beneficiary’s Annuity Purchase Date. For Section 401(a) and/or Section 401(k) and NQDC Contracts, the underlying Plan should be consulted to determine the options available.
 
For NQDC Contracts, the remaining value will be paid to a designated beneficiary. If no such beneficiary is so designated or in existence, subject to the terms of any underlying Plan the remaining value will be paid in the following order: Participant’s (1) spouse, (2) children, (3) parents, (4) siblings and (5) estate.
 
For all Contracts except NQDC Contracts, the death benefit is guaranteed to be not less than the total amount of all contributions, less any withdrawals, made by the Participant.
 
Credit of Purchase Payments
 
A Participant’s initial Purchase Payment will be credited to the Participant’s Accumulation Account to provide Units as of a Valuation Date for the Valuation Period, not later than (2) two business days after receipt of the Purchase Payment by TFLIC at 440 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, New York 10528, if the contract application and/or Participant’s enrollment form is complete upon receipt, or (2) two business days after an application and/ or enrollment form which is incomplete upon receipt by TFLIC is made complete, provided that if such information is not made complete within five business days after receipt, (i) the prospective Participant will be informed of the reasons for the delay, and (ii) the initial Purchase Payment will be returned immediately and in full, unless the prospective Participant specifically consents to TFLIC retaining the Purchase Payment until such information is made complete. Subsequent Purchase Payments will be credited to the Participant’s Accumulation Account to provide Units as of the Valuation Date for the Valuation Period in which the Purchase Payment is received in good order by TFLIC.
