Debt and Other Disclosures [Abstract]  
Debt
Credit Facility

In April 2026, we entered into a senior letter of credit facility pursuant to which a letter of credit may be issued in favor of Unum Limited (as beneficiary), our U.K. insurance subsidiary. The facility provides for drawings up to £50.0 million until its scheduled expiration five years after issuance of the letter of credit and no later than July 2031. The credit facility provides for borrowings at an interest rate based on the sterling overnight index average.

Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to financial covenants, negative covenants, and events of default that are customary. The credit facility includes financial covenants based on our leverage ratio and consolidated net worth as well as covenants that limit subsidiary indebtedness.

Junior Subordinated Debt Securities
During the first quarter of 2026, we purchased and retired $7.7 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.250% junior subordinated debt securities issued in 2018 and due 2058.
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses on Premiums Receivable
Allowance for Expected Credit Losses on Premiums Receivable

At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the allowance for expected credit losses on premiums receivables was $26.9 million and $26.1 million, respectively, on gross premiums receivable of $727.4 million and $579.5 million, respectively. The increase in gross premiums receivable of $147.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was driven by sales growth. The increase in the allowance for expected credit losses of $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was driven by an increase in the gross premiums receivable.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the allowance for expected credit losses on premiums receivables was $27.0 million and $26.8 million, respectively, on gross premiums receivable of $631.8 million and $584.1 million, respectively. The allowance for expected credit losses was generally consistent at March 31, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024.
Reinsurance
Closed Block Long-Term Care and Unum US Individual Disability Reinsurance Transaction

In February 2025, Unum Life Insurance Company of America (Unum America) entered into a master transaction agreement with Fortitude Reinsurance Company Ltd. (Fortitude Re) which resulted in the execution of a coinsurance agreement (reinsurance agreement) during July 2025. This reinsurance agreement reinsures a portion of our Closed Block long-term care business and a portion of our Unum US individual disability business on a coinsurance basis to Fortitude Re effective January 2025. The reinsurance agreement represented approximately 21 percent of total Closed Block long-term care future policy benefits and approximately 15 percent of Unum US individual disability future policy benefits as of December 31, 2024.

Upon closing the transaction in July 2025, we transferred to Fortitude Re $953.5 million of cash as well as fixed maturity securities with a fair value totaling $3,230.1 million and accrued investment income of $47.1 million. After consideration of the final settlement, the final ceding commission related to this transaction was $442.3 million.

As a result of this reinsurance agreement, we recognized the following:

Net realized investment loss totaling $46.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Reinsurance recoverable of $3,620.5 million comprised of ceded reserves of $3,315.2 million related to the Closed Block long-term care product line and $305.3 million related to the Unum US individual disability product line.
Cost of reinsurance of $848.2 million related to the Closed Block long-term care product line and a deferred gain on reinsurance related to the Unum US individual disability product line of $145.9 million.
Write-off of deferred acquisition costs related to the Unum US individual disability product line of $100.3 million which is included as a component of deferred gain on reinsurance.

In July 2025, immediately prior to entering into the reinsurance agreement with Fortitude Re, Unum America recaptured the aforementioned Closed Block long-term care business from Fairwind Insurance Company, an affiliated captive reinsurer, and assumed the aforementioned Unum US individual disability business from Provident Life and Accident Insurance Company, an affiliate.
