New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract]  
New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Text Block] Adoption of new Accounting Pronouncements On April 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU“) 2018-12,   Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Long-Duration Contracts which is applicable to Oxford. The Company used the modified retrospective method applies as the transition date of April 1, 2021. The updated accounting guidance required changes to the measurement and disclosure of long-duration contracts. For the Company, this includes all life insurance products, annuities, Medicare Supplement products and our long-term care business. Entities will be required to review, and update if there is a change to cash flow assumptions (including morbidity and persistency) at least annually, and to update discount rate assumptions quarterly using an upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield. The effect of changes in cash flow assumptions will be recorded in the Company's results of operations and the effect of changes in discount rate assumptions will be recorded in other comprehensive income. The most significant impact will be the effect of updating the discount rate assumption quarterly to reflect an upper-medium grade fixed-income instrument yield, rather than Oxford Life’s expected investment portfolio yield. This will be partially offset by the de-recognition of cumulative adjustments to DAC associated with unrealized gains and losses associated with long-duration contracts. The Company uses a published spot rate curve constructed from “A”-rated U.S. dollar denominated corporate bonds matched to the duration of the corresponding insurance liabilities, to calculate discount rates. The Company will groups its long-duration contracts into calendar year cohorts based on the contract issue date. DAC and other capitalized costs such as unearned revenue are amortized on a constant level or straight-line basis over the expected term of the contracts. Under ASU 2018-12, the annual amortization of DAC in our Consolidated Statements of Operations will differ from previous trends due to: 1) the requirement to no longer defer renewal commissions until such year as the commissions are actually incurred, 2) the requirement to no longer accrue and amortize interest on our DAC balances, and 3) the modification of the method for amortizing DAC including the updating of assumptions. For business with deferrals of renewal commissions, as is the case with our final expense life insurance policies, the expected amortization rate, as a percentage of premium, for certain blocks of business will no longer be level but will increase over the period of time during which commissions are deferred. The decrease in amortization in the near term will primarily impact our life insurance line of business. Upon adoption, the Company made adjustments to AOCI for the removal of cumulative adjustments to DAC associated with unrealized gains and losses previously recorded in AOCI. In total, we expect the impact on net earnings, largely from the decrease in amortization, to be immaterial during fiscal 2024, but could become material with a large increase in sales. Market risk benefits, which are contracts or contract features that provide protection to the policyholder from capital market risk and expose the Company to other-than-nominal capital market risk, are measured at fair value.   Market risk benefits are contracts or contract features that guarantee benefits, such as guaranteed life withdrawal benefits, in addition to an account balance which expose insurance companies to other than nominal capital market risk and protect the contract holder from the same risk. Certain contracts or contract features to be identified as market risk benefits were accounted for as embedded derivatives and measured at fair value, while others transitioned to fair value measurement upon the adoption of ASU 2018-12. Also in consideration of market risk benefits, upon adoption, there were impacts to (1) AOCI for the cumulative effect of changes in the instrument-specific credit risk between contract issue date and transition date and (2) retained earnings for the difference between fair value and carrying value at the transition date, excluding the changes in the instrument-specific credit risk. The requirement to review, and update if there is a change, cash flow assumptions at least annually is expected to change the pattern of earnings being recognized. Adoption will also significantly expand the Company’s disclosures, and will impact systems, processes, and controls. While the requirements of the new guidance represent a material change from existing GAAP, the accounting adoption had no economic impact on the cash flows of our business nor influence our business model of providing basic mortality and longevity protection-oriented products to the underserved senior market. In addition, it did not impact our statutory earnings, statutory capital, nor our capital management philosophies.

2023-01, Leases (Topic 842 – Common Control Arrangements (“ASU 2023-01”). ASU 2023-01, accounting for leasehold improvements, requires a lessee in a common-control lease arrangement to amortize leasehold improvements that it owns over the improvements  useful life to the common control group, regardless of the lease term, if the lessee continues to control the use of the underlying asset through a lease.  The amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact if any of the adoption of ASU 2023-01 on our financial statements.
