Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Basis of presentation: The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods have been included.

 

The results of operation for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2026 or for any other interim period or for any other future year. Certain financial information which is normally included in notes to financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, but which are not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. The accompanying financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in USAC’s report on Form 10-K and amendments thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.
Area of Operation, Policy [Policy Text Block] Area of Operation: US Alliance Life and Security Company is authorized to operate in the states of Kansas, North Dakota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, Kentucky, Utah, Alabama, Ohio, Mississippi, New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and Idaho. USALSC-Montana is authorized to operate in the state of Montana.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Common stock and income (loss) per share: The par value for common stock is $0.10 per share with 20,000,000 shares authorized. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, USAC had 7,788,922 common shares issued and outstanding.

 

Loss per share attributable to USAC’s common stockholders were computed based on the net loss and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each year. The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were 7,788,922 and 7,748,922 shares, respectively. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation when their effect is anti-dilutive. There was no difference between basic and diluted net loss per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

New accounting standards:

 

Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 is intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures by requiring, among other things, the disclosure on an annual basis of: (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation; and (ii) additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. In addition, ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure (on an annual basis) of the following information about income taxes paid: (i) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes; and (ii) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). ASU 2023-09 was effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, to be applied prospectively with an option for retrospective application (with early adoption permitted). The adoption of ASU 2023-09 modified our disclosures but did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses: Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses and Related Amendment

 

The amendments in this update require the disclosure of disaggregation of certain income statement expense line items. Specifically, the guidance requires the disclosure of additional information related to certain expenses, including employee compensation, depreciation and amortization, and certain other expenses included in each income statement line item. The amendments also require the disclosure of both the total amount of selling expenses and a definition of selling expenses.

 

We will adopt this update effective for the annual period beginning January 1, 2027, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. The adoption of this update is permitted on a prospective basis or a retrospective basis. The adoption of this update will expand our disclosures but will not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

ASU 2025-06, Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software: Intangibles - Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)

 

The amendments in this update modernize the recognition framework for the capitalization of internal-use software and remove all references to software development project stages. The guidance requires software development costs to be capitalized when both of the following criteria are met: (i) management has authorized and committed to funding the project, and (ii) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform its intended function. Additionally, the update aligns disclosure requirements for capitalized software costs with those under ASC 360-10, “Property, Plant, and Equipment.”

 

The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption of this update is permitted as of the beginning of an annual reporting period. Adoption of this update is permitted on a prospective, retrospective, or a modified retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this update will have on our financial position, results of operations, and disclosures.

 

Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-12 "Financial Services-Insurance (Topic 944) - Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts". This update is aimed at improving the Codification related to long-duration contracts, which will improve the timeliness of recognizing changes in the liability for future policy benefits, simplify accounting for certain market-based options, simplify the amortization of deferred acquisition costs, and improve the effectiveness of required disclosures. These updates were originally required to be applied retrospectively to the earliest period presented in the financial statements for periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The FASB subsequently delayed the effective date of ASU 2018-12 to periods beginning after December 15, 2024 for smaller reporting companies, with early adoption permitted. 

 

In December 2022, the FASB issued amendment ASU 2022-05 "Targeted Improvements for Long-Duration Contracts" collectively, “LDTI” that originally required an insurance entity to apply a retrospective transition method as of the beginning of the earliest period presented or the beginning of the prior fiscal year if early adoption was elected. This updated guidance reduces implementation costs and complexity associated with the adoption of targeted improvements in accounting for long-duration contracts that have been derecognized in accordance with ASU 2018-12 before the delayed effective date. Without the amendments in this ASU, an insurance entity would be required to reclassify a portion of gains or losses previously recognized in the sale or disposal of insurance contracts or legal entities because of the adoption of a new accounting standard.

 

We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2025, using the modified retrospective approach with changes applied as of January 1, 2024, also referred to as the transition date. The following tables summarize the impacts of the adoption of LDTI on the liability for future policy benefits, deferred acquisition costs, and stockholders' equity as of the transition date as well as impacted historical condensed consolidated financial statement line items for historical comparison.

The increase in accumulated other comprehensive income in our recast of 2024 is driven primarily by the difference between the discount rate applied under the historical accounting method, which was based on an expected investment yield from our current investment strategy, and the single-A discount rate that is required as a part of the adoption of LDTI. The net favorable impact to net loss and accumulated deficit is primarily due to slower amortization of deferred acquisition costs on single pay products.

 

The following table presents the transition impacts as of January 1, 2024, to the Company's accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and accumulated deficit as a result of the adoption of LDTI by product type, using the modified retrospective transition method:
