Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
Valuation Hierarchy: The Account’s fair value measurements are grouped into three levels, as defined by the FASB. The levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices for identical items in active, liquid and visible markets such as stock exchanges.
Level 2 fair value inputs are observable information for similar items in active or inactive markets, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations.
Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market contract owners would use in pricing an asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate.
An asset or liability's categorization within the valuation hierarchy described above is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Real estate fund investments are excluded from the valuation hierarchy, as these investments are fair valued using their net asset value as a practical expedient since market quotations or values from independent pricing services are not readily available. See Note 1Organization and Significant Accounting Policies of the Account's 2023 Form 10-K for further discussion regarding the use of a practical expedient for the valuation of real estate funds.
The following tables show the major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1); significant other observable inputs (Level 2); and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in millions):

(1) Equivalency Rate is defined as the prevailing market interest rate used to discount the contractual loan payments.
Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements, respectively.
Line of Credit and Other Unsecured Debt: The Account's line of credit and term loans are recorded at par as Management believes par approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of the credit facility.
