Employees hired by the Company after July 1, 1995, received a post-retirement life insurance benefit equal to $50,000 at retirement, which decreases by $5,000 annually to a minimum benefit of $5,000 by the time the recipient reaches age 75. In June of 2012, the Company amended the post-retirement life insurance benefit for all active employees, regardless of hire date, to a benefit of $50,000 at retirement, then decreasing by $5,000 a year to $5,000 at age 75. Because the product offered is term life insurance, the Company is exposed to increasing costs in future years. The Company is evaluating various options to reduce or settle its obligation for benefits, to the current retiree group only. One option under consideration is a plan offered by an insurance company, as to this current retiree group, whereby the Company would enter into an agreement with the insurance company to transfer all risk and obligation for the benefits payable as to the current retiree group in exchange for a one-time fixed payment by the Company.   The agreement would require a one-time payment to the insurance company, estimated to be approximately $4.1 million. There would be no further cost to the Company as to the current retirees, after this payment. The Company would recognize a settlement charge, net of tax, of approximately $1.6 million in the period in which it occurs. </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for an entity's employee compensation and benefit plans, including, but not limited to, postemployment and postretirement benefit plans, defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans, non-qualified and supplemental benefit plans, deferred compensation, share-based compensation, life insurance, severance, health care, unemployment and other benefit plans.No definition available.false0Post-retirement Life Insurance BenefitfalsePost-retirement Life Insurance BenefitUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://pennsecurity.com/taxonomy/role/NotesToFinancialStatementsCompensationAndEmployeeBenefitPlansTextBlock12
