Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block] Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract
Risk of Investment Loss — The Contract involves risks, including possible loss of principal. You bear the risk of any decline in the Contract Value resulting from the performance of the Subaccounts you have chosen. Your losses could be significant. This risk could have a significant negative impact on certain benefits and guarantees under the Contract. This Contract is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank. This Contract is not federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency.Short-Term Investment Risk/Withdrawal Risk — This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. If you plan to withdraw money or surrender the Contract for short-term needs, it may not be the right contract for you. If you make a withdrawal prior to age 59½, there may be adverse tax consequences, including a 10% IRS penalty tax. A total withdrawal (surrender) will result in the termination of your Contract and any benefits. The benefits of tax deferral mean that this Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon.Subaccount Risk — Amounts that you invest in the Subaccounts are subject to the risk of poor investment performance. You assume the investment risk. Generally, if the Subaccounts that you select make money, your Contract Value goes up, and if they lose money, your Contract Value goes down. Each Subaccount’s performance depends on the performance of its Underlying Fund. Each Underlying Fund has its own investment risks, and you are exposed to the Underlying Fund’s investment risks when you invest in a Subaccount. You are responsible for selecting Subaccounts that are appropriate for you based on your own individual circumstances, investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. The investment risks are described in the prospectuses for the Underlying Funds.Managed Volatility Fund Risk — Certain Underlying Funds utilize managed volatility strategies. These risk management techniques help us manage our financial risks associated with the Contract’s guaranteed rider benefits, like living and death benefits, because they reduce the incidence of extreme outcomes, including the probability of large gains or losses. However, these strategies can also limit your participation in rising equity markets, which may limit the potential growth of your Contract Value and may therefore conflict with your personal investment objectives. In addition, the cost of these hedging strategies may negatively impact performance. Purchase Payment Risk — Your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments is subject to restrictions. We reserve the right to refuse any Purchase Payment, to further limit your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments with advance notice, and to require our prior approval before accepting Purchase Payments. There is no guarantee that you will always be permitted to make Purchase Payments.Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability Risk — All guarantees under the Contract that are paid from our General Account (including under any Fixed Account option) are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you.Business Disruption and Cybersecurity Risk — Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners, so our business is vulnerable to systems failures and cyber-attacks. Systems failures and cyber-attacks may adversely affect us, your Contract, and your Contract Value. In addition to cybersecurity risks, we are exposed to the risk that natural and man-made disasters, pandemics (like COVID-19), catastrophes, geopolitical disputes and military actions may significantly disrupt our business operations and our ability to administer the Contract. There can be no assurance that we or our service providers will be able to successfully avoid negative impacts associated with systems failures, cyber-attacks, or natural and man-made disasters, pandemics and catastrophes. We note that there may be an increased risk of cyberattacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflicts. For more information about these risks, see “More About the Contract – Business Disruption and Cybersecurity Risks.”Loan Risk — The amount in the Loan Account does not participate in the investment experience of the Subaccounts, therefore, loans can impact the Contract Value and death benefit, even if the loan is repaid in full. If the Contract is surrendered while there is an outstanding loan, the surrender value will be reduced by the amount of the loan plus loan interest rate. Upon the death of the Annuitant, we will pay the Beneficiary the Contract Value less the outstanding loan and loan interest due. If you do not make any required loan payment by the end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the missed payment was due, the total outstanding loan balance will be deemed to be in default for tax reporting purposes.Tax Consequences Risk — Withdrawals are generally taxable (to the extent of any earnings on the Contract), and prior to age 59½ a tax penalty may apply. In addition, even if the Contract is held for years before any withdrawal is made, the withdrawals are taxable as ordinary income rather than capital gains.Advisory Fee Deduction Risk — If you elect to pay third-party advisory fees from your Contract Value, then the deduction will reduce the death benefit, perhaps significantly, and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax.Contract Changes Risk — From time to time, we make changes to the Contract. We may limit the number of transfers to 14 in a Contract Year. We may restrict your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments. We may limit the number of loans you may have outstanding at any time. We reserve the right to add, remove or substitute the Underlying Funds available as investment options under the Contract in accordance with applicable law. We may change the investment restrictions under certain optional benefits, and we may stop offering for purchase any currently available optional benefit at any time.

VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Standard Death Benefit [Member]  
Item 10. Benefits Available [Line Items]  
Operation of Benefit [Text Block] Death Benefit You should consider the following provisions carefully when choosing the Designated Beneficiary, Annuitant, any Joint Annuitant, and any Joint Owner, as well as before changing any of these parties. Naming different persons as Owner(s), Annuitant(s) and Designated Beneficiary(ies) can have important impacts on whether the death benefit is paid, and on who would receive it. If the Owner dies prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Company will calculate the death benefit proceeds payable to the Designated Beneficiary as of the Valuation Date the Company receives due proof of death of the Owner and instructions regarding payment to the Designated Beneficiary. If there are Joint Owners, the death benefit proceeds will be calculated upon receipt of due proof of death of either Owner prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and instructions regarding payment. If the surviving spouse of the deceased Owner is the sole Designated Beneficiary, such spouse may elect to continue the Contract in force, subject to certain limitations. See “Distribution Requirements.” If the Owner is not a natural person, the death benefit proceeds will be calculated as of the date the Company receives due proof of death of the Annuitant prior to the Annuity Commencement Date and instructions regarding payment. Additionally, if the Owner is not a natural person, the amount of the death benefit will be based on the age of the oldest Annuitant on the date the Contract was issued. If the death of the Owner occurs on or after the Annuity Commencement Date, any applicable death benefit will terminate at the Annuity Commencement Date without value. See “Annuity Options.” The death benefit proceeds will be the death benefit reduced by any outstanding Contract Debt and any uncollected premium taxes. If an Owner dies during the Accumulation Period and the age of each Owner was 75 or younger on the date the Contract was issued, the amount of the death benefit will be the greatest of: The sum of all Purchase Payments, less any reductions caused by previous withdrawals, The Contract Value on the Valuation Date due proof of death and instructions regarding payment are received by the Company, or The stepped-up death benefit, if applicable. The stepped-up death benefit is: (1) the largest death benefit on any Contract anniversary that is an exact multiple of five and occurs prior to the oldest Owner attaining age 76, plus (2) any Purchase Payments made since the applicable Contract anniversary, less (3) any withdrawals since the applicable Contract anniversary. The stepped-up death benefit is not payable and will not be included as part of the Death Benefit calculation if you die prior to the end of the fifth Contract Year. If an Owner dies during the Accumulation Period and the age of any Owner was 76 or greater on the date the Contract was issued, or if due proof of death (regardless of the age of any Owner on the date the Contract was issued) and instructions regarding payment are not received by the Company at its Administrative Office within six months of the date of the Owner’s death, the death benefit will be the Contract Value on the Valuation Date due proof of death and instructions regarding payment are received by the Company at its Administrative Office.The death benefit for Contracts issued in Florida is different than the death benefit described above. For Contracts issued in Florida, the death benefit, regardless of the age at issue, is the greater of (1) the Contract Value as of the end of the Valuation Period in which due proof of death and instructions regarding payment are received by the Company at its Administrative Office, or (2) the total Purchase Payments received less any reductions caused by previous withdrawals. However, if due proof of death and instructions regarding payment are not received by the Company at its Administrative Office within six months of the date of the Owner’s death, the death benefit will be the Contract Value on the Valuation Date due proof of death and instructions regarding payment are received by the Company at its Administrative Office. The death benefit proceeds will be paid to the Designated Beneficiary in a single sum or under one of the Annuity Options, as directed by the Owner or as elected by the Designated Beneficiary. However, if the Owner has completed a restricted beneficiary designation form, the death benefit proceeds will be paid to the Designated Beneficiary in the manner specified on the form. If the Designated Beneficiary is to receive annuity payments under an Annuity Option, there may be limits under applicable law on the amount and duration of payments that the Beneficiary may receive and requirements respecting timing of payments. Under a Qualified Contract, most non-spouse Designated Beneficiaries will be required to receive all proceeds within ten years. A tax adviser should be consulted in considering Annuity Options. See “Federal Tax Matters” for a discussion of the tax consequences in the event of death. Please note that any death benefit payment we make in excess of Contract Value is subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability. Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare annuity contracts to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of 3 to 5 years from the Contract’s Annuity Commencement Date or date the death benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a death benefit has been triggered, but, the Designated Beneficiary does not come forward to claim the death benefit in a timely manner, the death benefit will be paid to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the Designated Beneficiary or the Owner last resided, as shown on our books and records, or to our state of domicile. This “escheatment” is revocable, however, and the state is obligated to pay the death benefit (without interest) if your Designated Beneficiary steps forward to claim the death benefit with the proper documentation. To prevent such escheatment, it is important that you update your Designated Beneficiary designations, including addresses, if and as they change. Such updates should be communicated in writing, or other approved means at our Administrative Office.
Calculation Method of Benefit [Text Block] Example of the Standard Death Benefit. Assume: (i)The initial Purchase Payment is $100,000 and no additional Purchase Payments are made (ii)In Contract Year five, the Contract Value is $105,000 (iii)The Owner takes one withdrawal of $10,000 in Contract Year seven (iv)The Owner dies in Contract Year 10 (v)At the time of the Owner’s death, the Contract Value is $89,000 (vi)There is no outstanding Contract Debt at the time of the Owner’s death If the Owner was 76 years old or older on the Contract Date, the standard death benefit is the greater of the Contract Value or total Purchase Payments less any withdrawals. The Contract Value is $89,000, and the amount of total Purchase Payments less withdrawals is $90,000. Thus, the death benefit is $90,000. If the Owner was 75 years old or younger on the Contract Date, the standard death benefit is the greatest of sum of all Purchase Payments less withdrawals, the Contract Value, or the stepped-up death benefit. The stepped-up death benefit is the largest death benefit on any Contract anniversary that is a multiple of five and occurs prior to the oldest Owner (or Annuitant) reaching age 76 plus Purchase Payments made and less withdrawals taken since the applicable Contract anniversary. Assuming the Owner was less than 76 years old in Contract Year five, the stepped-up death benefit is calculated as follows: Death Benefit in Contract Year Five + Purchase Payments since Contract Year Five – Withdrawals since Contract Year Five = $105,000 + $0 - $10,000 = $95,000 The death benefit is $95,000. Example of the Impact of Advisory Fee Withdrawals on Contract Value and the Standard Death Benefit over Time. Assume: (i)The initial Purchase Payment is $100,000 and no additional Purchase Payments are added to the Contract. (ii)The Contract Value grows at an annual rate of 3%. (iii)An advisory fee withdrawal of $1,000 is taken each Contract Year at the end of the Contract Year.

Name of Benefit [Text Block] Systematic Withdrawals
Operation of Benefit [Text Block] Systematic Withdrawals For no additional charge, the Company currently offers a feature under which you may select systematic withdrawals. Under this feature, a Contract Owner may elect to receive systematic withdrawals before the Annuity Commencement Date by sending a properly completed Scheduled Systematic Withdrawal form to the Company at its Administrative Office. This option may be elected at any time. A Contract Owner may designate the systematic withdrawal amount as a percentage of Contract Value allocated to the Subaccounts and/or Fixed Account, as a fixed period, as a specified dollar amount, as all earnings in the Contract, or as based upon the life expectancy of the Owner or the Owner and a beneficiary. A Contract Owner may also designate the desired frequency of the systematic withdrawals, which may be monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. The Contract Owner may stop or modify systematic withdrawals upon proper written request received by the Company at its Administrative Office at least 30 days in advance of the requested date of termination or modification. A proper request must include the written consent of any effective assignee or irrevocable beneficiary, if applicable. Each systematic withdrawal must be at least $100. Upon payment, your Contract Value will be reduced by an amount equal to the payment proceeds plus any applicable premium tax. If an Owner is enrolled in the Dollar Cost Averaging or Asset Reallocation Options, the Owner may not elect to receive systematic withdrawals from any Subaccount that is part of the Dollar Cost Averaging or Asset Reallocation Options. In no event will payment of a systematic withdrawal exceed the Withdrawal Value. The Contract will automatically terminate if a systematic withdrawal causes the Contract’s Withdrawal Value to equal zero. The Company will effect each systematic withdrawal as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the withdrawal is scheduled. The deduction caused by the systematic withdrawal will be allocated from the Contract Owner’s Contract Value in the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account, as directed by the Contract Owner. If a Contract Owner does not specify the allocation, the systematic withdrawal will be deducted from the Contract Value in the same proportion that the Contract Value is allocated among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. The Company may, at any time, discontinue, modify, suspend or charge a fee for systematic withdrawals. Systematic withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account must provide for payments over a period of not fewer than 36 months as described under “The Fixed Account.” You should consider carefully the tax consequences of a systematic withdrawal, including the 10% penalty tax which may be imposed on withdrawals made prior to the Owner attaining age 59½. See “Restrictions on Withdrawals from Qualified Plans,” “Restrictions under the Texas Optional Retirement Program” and “Federal Tax Matters.”

Name of Benefit [Text Block] Dollar Cost Averaging Option
Operation of Benefit [Text Block] Dollar Cost Averaging Option For no additional charge, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, you may dollar cost average your Contract Value by authorizing the Company to make periodic transfers of Contract Value from any one Subaccount to one or more of the other Subaccounts. Dollar cost averaging is a systematic method of investing in which securities are purchased at regular intervals in fixed dollar amounts so that the cost of the securities gets averaged over time and possibly over various market cycles. The option will result in the transfer of Contract Value from one Subaccount to one or more of the other Subaccounts. Amounts transferred under this option will be credited at the price of the Subaccount as of the end of the Valuation Dates on which the transfers are effected. Since the price of a Subaccount’s Accumulation Units will vary, the amounts transferred to a Subaccount will result in the crediting of a greater number of units when the price is low and a lesser number of units when the price is high. Similarly, the amounts transferred from a Subaccount will result in a debiting of a greater number of units when the price is low and a lesser number of units when the price is high. Dollar cost averaging does not guarantee profits, nor does it assure that you will not have losses. A Dollar Cost Averaging form is available upon request. On the form, you must designate whether Contract Value is to be transferred on the basis of a specific dollar amount, a fixed period or earnings only, the Subaccount or Subaccounts to and from which the transfers will be made, the desired frequency of the transfers, which may be on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis, and the length of time during which the transfers shall continue or the total amount to be transferred over time. The minimum amount that may be transferred to any one Subaccount is $25.00. The Company does not require that transfers be continued over any minimum period of time, although typically dollar cost averaging would extend over a period of at least one year. After the Company has received a Dollar Cost Averaging request in proper form at its Administrative Office, the Company will transfer Contract Value in the amounts you designate from the Subaccount from which transfers are to be made to the Subaccount or Subaccounts you have chosen. The Company will effect each transfer on the date you specify or if no date is specified, on the monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual anniversary, whichever corresponds to the period selected, as of the date of receipt at the Administrative Office of a Dollar Cost Averaging request in proper form. Transfers will be made until the total amount elected has been transferred, or until Contract Value in the Subaccount from which transfers are made has been depleted. Amounts periodically transferred under this option are not included in the 14 transfers per Contract Year that generally are allowed as discussed under “Transfers of Contract Value.” You may make changes to the option by writing to the Company’s Administrative Office or by telephone provided the proper form is completed, signed, and received by the Company. You may instruct the Company at any time to terminate the option by written request to the Company’s Administrative Office. In that event, the Contract Value in the Subaccount from which transfers were being made that has not been transferred will remain in that Subaccount unless you instruct us otherwise. If you wish to continue transferring on a dollar cost averaging basis after the expiration of the applicable period, the total amount elected has been transferred, or the Subaccount has been depleted, or after the Dollar Cost Averaging Option has been canceled, a new Dollar Cost Averaging form must be completed and sent to the Administrative Office. The Company may discontinue, modify, or suspend the Dollar Cost Averaging Option at any time. The Company does not currently charge a fee for this option. If you elect the Dollar Cost Averaging Option, you may also elect the Asset Reallocation Option. Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account may be included in the Asset Reallocation Option Program, subject to certain restrictions described in “Transfers and Withdrawals from the Fixed Account.” You may not have in effect at the same time Dollar Cost Averaging and Asset Reallocation Options, if the Fixed Account is included in one of these two options.

Name of Benefit [Text Block] Asset Reallocation Option
Operation of Benefit [Text Block] Asset Reallocation Option For no additional charge, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, you may authorize the Company to automatically transfer Contract Value on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis to maintain a particular percentage allocation among the Subaccounts. The Contract Value allocated to each Subaccount will grow or decline in value at different rates during the selected period, and Asset Reallocation automatically reallocates the Contract Value in the Subaccounts to the allocation you selected on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis, as you select. Asset Reallocation is intended to transfer Contract Value from those Subaccounts that have increased in value to those Subaccounts that have declined in value. Over time, this method of investing may help you buy low and sell high. This investment method does not guarantee profits, nor does it assure that you will not have losses. To elect this option an Asset Reallocation request in proper form must be received by the Company at its Administrative Office. An Asset Reallocation form is available upon request. On the form, you must indicate the applicable Subaccounts, the applicable time period and the percentage of Contract Value to be allocated to each Subaccount. Upon receipt of the Asset Reallocation form, the Company will effect a transfer among the Subaccounts based upon the percentages that you selected. Thereafter, the Company will transfer Contract Value to maintain that allocation on each monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual anniversary, as applicable, as of the date of the Company’s receipt of the Asset Reallocation request in proper form. The amounts transferred will be credited at the price of the Subaccount as of the end of the Valuation Date on which the transfer is effected. Amounts periodically transferred under this option are not included in the 14 transfers per Contract Year that generally are allowed as discussed under “Transfers of Contract Value.” You may make changes to the option by writing to the Company’s Administrative Office or by telephone provided the proper form is completed, signed, and received at the Company’s Administrative Office. You may instruct the Company at any time to terminate this option by written request to the Company’s Administrative Office. The Asset Reallocation Option will terminate automatically if a transfer is made to, or from, any Subaccount included in the allocation selected by the Contract Owner. In that event, the Contract Value in the Subaccounts that has not been transferred will remain in those Subaccounts regardless of the percentage allocation unless you instruct us otherwise. If you wish to continue Asset Reallocation after it has been canceled, a new Asset Reallocation form must be completed and sent to the Company’s Administrative Office. The Company may discontinue, modify, or suspend, and reserves the right to charge a fee, for the Asset Reallocation Option at any time. The Company does not currently charge a fee for this option. If you elect the Asset Reallocation Option, you may also elect the Dollar Cost Averaging Option. Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account may be included in the Asset Reallocation option, subject to certain restrictions described in “Transfers and Withdrawals from the Fixed Account.” You may not have in effect at the same time Dollar Cost Averaging and Asset Reallocation Options, if the Fixed Account is included in one of these two options.

Name of Benefit [Text Block] Loans
Operation of Benefit [Text Block] Loans If you own a Contract issued in connection with a retirement plan that is qualified under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, you may be able to borrow money under your Contract using the Contract Value as the only security for the loan. Whether you can borrow money will depend on the terms of your Employer’s 403(b) plan or program. If you are permitted, you may obtain a loan by submitting a proper written request to the Company. A loan must be taken and repaid prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. The minimum loan that may be taken is $1,000 ($500 for Contracts issued in New Jersey). The maximum amount of all loans on all contracts combined is generally equal to the lesser of: (1) $50,000 reduced by the excess of: (a) the highest outstanding loan balance within the preceding 12-month period ending on the day before the date the loan is made; over (b) the outstanding loan balance on the date the loan is made; or (2) 50% of the Contract Values or $10,000, whichever is greater (the $10,000 limit is not available for Contracts issued under a 403(b) Plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA)). For loans issued under plans that are subject to ERISA, the maximum amount of all loans is the lesser of: (1) $50,000 reduced by the excess of: (a) the highest outstanding loan balance within the preceding 12-month period ending on the day before the date the loan is made; over (b) the outstanding loan balance on the date the loan is made; or (2) 50% of your Contract Value. In any case, the maximum loan balance outstanding at any time may not exceed 80% of Contract Value, and the Company reserves the right to limit to one the number of loans outstanding at any time. The Internal Revenue Code requires aggregation of all loans made to an individual employee under a single employer plan. However, since the Company has no information concerning outstanding loans with other providers, we are only be able to use information available under annuity contracts issued by us, and you will be responsible for determining your loan limits considering loans from other providers. If your Contract was issued pursuant to a 403(b) plan, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that loans you request comply with applicable tax requirements and to decline requests that are not in compliance. Reference should be made to the terms of your particular Employer's Plan or Program for any additional loan restrictions. Upon receipt by the Company of a written loan application and agreement and subject to the Company’s approval (which approval or disapproval may be postponed for up to six months after receipt of the loan application), Contract Value in an amount equal to the loan amount is withdrawn from the Subaccounts and/or the Fixed Account proportionately as it is currently invested in the Subaccounts and/or the Fixed Account and transferred into an account called the “Loan Account.” Amounts allocated to the Loan Account earn 3.0% on an annual basis. In addition, 10% of the loaned amount will be held in the Fixed Account as security for the loan and will earn the Current Rate under Fixed Account. Interest will be charged for the loan and will accrue on the loan balance from the effective date of any loan. The loan interest rate will be equal to 5.5%. The net cost of a loan is the interest rate charged by the Company less the interest rate credited. We are not responsible for determining whether this interest rate is “reasonable” as required by ERISA for loans under ERISA covered 403(b) plans. Loans must be repaid within five years, unless the loan is used to acquire your principal residence, in which case the loan must be repaid within 30 years. In either event, your loan must be repaid prior to the Annuity Commencement Date. You must make loan repayments on at least a quarterly basis, and you may prepay your loan at any time. There is no required minimum payment. Upon receipt of a loan payment, the Company will transfer Contract Value from the Loan Account to the Fixed Account and/or the Subaccounts according to your current instructions with respect to Purchase Payments in an amount equal to the amount by which the payment reduces the amount of the loan outstanding. If you do not make any required loan payment within 30 days of the due date for loans with a monthly repayment schedule or within 90 days of the due date for loans with a quarterly repayment schedule, your total outstanding loan balance will be deemed to be in default for tax reporting purposes. The entire loan balance, with any accrued interest, will be reported as income to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) on form 1099-R for the year in which the default occurred. The Company may agree to extend these deadlines for late payments within any limits imposed by the IRS regulations. This deemed distribution may be subject to a 10% penalty tax, which is imposed upon distributions prior to the Owner attaining age 59½. Once a loan has defaulted, regularly scheduled loan payments will not be accepted by the Company. No new loans will be allowed while a loan is in default. Interest will continue to accrue on a loan in default. Contract Value equal to the amount of the accrued interest will be transferred to the Loan Account. If a loan continues to be in default, the total outstanding balance may be deducted from Contract Value on or after the Contract Owner attains age 59½. The Contract will terminate automatically if the outstanding loan balance of a loan in default equals or exceeds the Withdrawal Value. The Contract Value will be used to repay the debt. Because of the adverse tax consequences associated with defaulting on a loan, you should carefully consider your ability to repay the loan and should consult with a tax adviser before requesting a loan. While the amount to secure the loan is held in the Loan Account, you forego the investment experience of the Subaccounts and the Current Rate of interest on the Fixed Account. The Contract Value at surrender and the death proceeds payable will be reduced by the amount of any outstanding Contract Debt plus accrued interest. Loans, therefore, can affect the Contract Value and benefits linked to the Contract Value, whether or not the loan is repaid. Outstanding Contract Debt will reduce the amount of proceeds paid upon full withdrawal, upon payment of the death benefit, and upon annuitization. In addition, no partial withdrawal will be processed which would result in the withdrawal of Contract Value from the Loan Account. In the event that you elect to exchange your Contract for a contract of another company, you will need to either pay off your loan prior to the exchange or incur tax consequences in that you will be deemed to have received a taxable distribution in the amount of the outstanding loan balance. You should consult with your tax advisor on the effect of a loan.
VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Fixed Account  
Fixed Option Details [Line Items]  
Fixed Option Details, Description [Text Block] The Fixed Account
The Fixed Account is not available in all states. If the Fixed Account is available under your Contract, you may allocate all or a portion of your Purchase Payments and transfer Contract Value to the Fixed Account. Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account become part of the Company’s General Account, which supports the Company’s insurance and annuity obligations. The General Account is subject to regulation and supervision by the Kansas Insurance Department and is also subject to the insurance laws and regulations of other jurisdictions in which the Contract is distributed. In reliance on certain exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed Account have not been registered as securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and the Fixed Account has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). Accordingly, neither the Fixed Account nor any interests therein are generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act. This disclosure, however, is subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in this Prospectus. This Prospectus is generally intended to serve as a disclosure document only for aspects of a Contract involving the Separate Account and contains only selected information regarding the Fixed Account. For more information regarding the Fixed Account, see “The Contract.” Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account become part of the General Account of the Company, which consists of all assets owned by the Company other than those in the Separate Account and other separate accounts of the Company. Subject to applicable law, the Company has sole discretion over investment of the assets of its General Account. Please note that any amounts we guarantee in connection with the Fixed Account are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability. Information regarding the features of each currently offered Fixed option, including (i) its name, (ii) its term, and (iii) its minimum guaranteed interest rate, is available in Appendix A: Investment Options Available Under the Contract.
Fixed Option Details, Additional Information [Text Block] Death Benefit The death benefit under the Contract will be determined in the same fashion for a Contract that has Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account as for a Contract that has Contract Value allocated to the Subaccounts. See “Death Benefit.”Contract Charges Premium taxes, if any, will be the same for Owners who allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Fixed Account as for those who allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Subaccounts. The charges for mortality and expense risks and the administration charge will not be assessed against the Fixed Account, and any amounts that the Company pays for income taxes allocable to the Subaccounts will not be charged against the Fixed Account. In addition, you will not pay directly or indirectly the investment advisory fees and other operating expenses of the Underlying Funds to the extent Contract Value is allocated to the Fixed Account; however, you will not participate in the investment experience of the Subaccounts.Transfers and Withdrawals from the Fixed Account You may transfer amounts from the Subaccounts to the Fixed Account and from the Fixed Account to the Subaccounts, subject to the following limitations. Transfers from the Fixed Account are allowed only (1) from Contract Value, the Guarantee Period of which expires during the calendar month in which the transfer is effected, (2) pursuant to the Dollar Cost Averaging Option, provided that such transfers are scheduled to be made over a period of not less than one year, and (3) pursuant to the Asset Reallocation Option, provided that, upon receipt of the Asset Reallocation Request, Contract Value is allocated among the Fixed Account and the Subaccounts in the percentages selected by the Contract Owner without violating the restrictions on transfers from the Fixed Account set forth in (1) above. Accordingly, if you desire to implement the Asset Reallocation Option you should do so at a time when Contract Value may be transferred from the Fixed Account to the Subaccounts without violating the restrictions on transfers from the Fixed Account. Once you implement an Asset Reallocation Option, the restrictions on transfers will not apply to transfers made pursuant to the Option. The minimum amount that you may transfer from the Fixed Account to the Subaccounts is the lesser of (i) $1,000 or (ii) the amount of Contract Value for which the Guarantee Period expires in the calendar month that the transfer is effected. Transfers of Contract Value pursuant to the Dollar Cost Averaging and Asset Reallocation Options are not currently subject to any minimums. The Company reserves the right to waive or limit the number of transfers permitted each Contract Year to 14 transfers, to suspend transfers, and to limit the amount that may be subject to transfers and the amount remaining in an account after a transfer. If Purchase Payments are allocated (except Purchase Payments made pursuant to an Automatic Investment Program), or Contract Value is transferred, to the Fixed Account, any transfers from the Fixed Account in connection with the Dollar Cost Averaging or Asset Reallocation Options and any systematic withdrawals from the Fixed Account will automatically terminate as of the date of such Purchase Payment or transfer. You may reestablish Dollar Cost Averaging, Asset Reallocation or systematic withdrawals from the Fixed Account by submitting a written request to the Company. However, if for any reason a Dollar Cost Averaging or systematic withdrawal option is cancelled, you may only reestablish the option after the expiration of the next anniversary that corresponds to the period selected in establishing the option. You may also make full withdrawals to the same extent as if you had allocated Contract Value to the Subaccounts. A Contract Owner may make a partial withdrawal from the Fixed Account only (1) from Contract Value, the Guarantee Period of which expires during the calendar month in which the partial withdrawal is effected, (2) pursuant to systematic withdrawals and (3) once per Contract Year in an amount equal to the greater of $5,000 or 10% of the Contract Value in the Fixed Account at the time of the partial withdrawal. However, no partial withdrawal request will be processed which would result in the withdrawal of Contract Value from the Loan Account. Systematic withdrawals from Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account must provide for payments over a period of not fewer than 36 months. Any change in the type, frequency or number of Systematic Withdrawals from the Fixed Account requires that a new 36 month period be started. See “Full and Partial Withdrawals” and “Systematic Withdrawals.” In addition, to the same extent as Contract Owners with Contract Value in the Subaccounts, the Owner of a Contract used in connection with a Qualified Plan may obtain a loan if permitted under the terms of the Qualified Plan. See “Loans.”Payments from the Fixed Account Full and partial withdrawals, loans, and transfers from the Fixed Account may be delayed for up to six months after a request in good order is received by the Company at its Administrative Office. During the period of deferral, interest at the applicable interest rate or rates will continue to be credited to the amounts allocated to the Fixed Account.
Fixed Option Details, Interest Crediting [Line Items]  
Fixed Option Details, Interest Crediting [Text Block] Interest Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account earns interest at a fixed rate or rates that are paid by the Company. The Contract Value in the Fixed Account earns interest at an interest rate that is guaranteed to be at least a specified minimum rate (“Guaranteed Rate”). The Guaranteed Rate accrues daily and ranges from an annual effective rate of 1% to 3% based upon the state in which the Contract is issued and the requirements of that state. Such interest will be paid regardless of the actual investment experience of the Fixed Account. The principal, after charges and deductions, also is guaranteed. In addition, the Company may, in its discretion, pay interest at a rate (“Current Rate”) that exceeds the Guaranteed Rate. The Company will determine the Current Rate, if any, from time to time. Because the Company may declare a Current Rate in its sole discretion, you assume the risk that interest credited to Contract Value in the Fixed Account may not exceed the Guaranteed Rate. Contract Value allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account will earn interest at the Guaranteed Rate (or Current Rate, if any), in effect on the date such portion of Contract Value is allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account. The Current Rate paid on any such portion of Contract Value allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account will be guaranteed for rolling periods of one or more years (each a “Guarantee Period”). The Company currently offers only Guarantee Periods of one year. Upon expiration of any Guarantee Period, a new Guarantee Period of the same duration begins with respect to that portion of Contract Value, which will earn interest at the Current Rate, if any, declared on the first day of the new Guarantee Period. Because the Company may, in its sole discretion, anticipate changing the Current Rate from time to time, Contract Value allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account at one point in time may be credited with a different Current Rate than amounts allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account at another point in time. For example, amounts allocated to the Fixed Account in June may be credited with a different current rate than amounts allocated to the Fixed Account in July. In addition, if Guarantee Periods of different durations are offered, Contract Value allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account for a Guarantee Period of one duration may be credited with a different Current Rate than amounts allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account for a Guarantee Period of a different duration. Therefore, at any time, various portions of your Contract Value in the Fixed Account may be earning interest at different Current Rates depending upon the point in time such portions were allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account and the duration of the Guarantee Period. The Company bears the investment risk for the Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account and for paying interest at the Guaranteed Rate on amounts allocated to the Fixed Account. For purposes of determining the interest rates to be credited on Contract Value in the Fixed Account, transfers from the Fixed Account will be deemed to be taken in the following order: (1) from any portion of Contract Value allocated to the Fixed Account for which the Guarantee Period expires during the calendar month in which the withdrawal, loan, or transfer is effected; (2) then in the order beginning with that portion of such Contract Value which has the longest amount of time remaining before the end of its Guarantee Period and (3) ending with that portion which has the least amount of time remaining before the end of its Guarantee Period. For more information about transfers and withdrawals from the Fixed Account, see “Transfers and Withdrawals From the Fixed Account.” If permitted by your Contract, the Company may discontinue accepting Purchase Payments or transfers into the Fixed Account at any time.

You bear the risk of any decline in the Contract Value resulting from the performance of the Subaccounts you have chosen. Your losses could be significant.

VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Short-Term Investment Risk Withdrawal Risk  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Short-Term Investment Risk/Withdrawal Risk — This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. If you plan to withdraw money or surrender the Contract for short-term needs, it may not be the right contract for you. If you make a withdrawal prior to age 59½, there may be adverse tax consequences, including a 10% IRS penalty tax. A total withdrawal (surrender) will result in the termination of your Contract and any benefits. The benefits of tax deferral mean that this Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon.
VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Subaccount Risk  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Subaccount Risk — Amounts that you invest in the Subaccounts are subject to the risk of poor investment performance. You assume the investment risk. Generally, if the Subaccounts that you select make money, your Contract Value goes up, and if they lose money, your Contract Value goes down. Each Subaccount’s performance depends on the performance of its Underlying Fund. Each Underlying Fund has its own investment risks, and you are exposed to the Underlying Fund’s investment risks when you invest in a Subaccount. You are responsible for selecting Subaccounts that are appropriate for you based on your own individual circumstances, investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. The investment risks are described in the prospectuses for the Underlying Funds.
VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Managed Volatility Fund Risk  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Managed Volatility Fund Risk — Certain Underlying Funds utilize managed volatility strategies. These risk management techniques help us manage our financial risks associated with the Contract’s guaranteed rider benefits, like living and death benefits, because they reduce the incidence of extreme outcomes, including the probability of large gains or losses. However, these strategies can also limit your participation in rising equity markets, which may limit the potential growth of your Contract Value and may therefore conflict with your personal investment objectives. In addition, the cost of these hedging strategies may negatively impact performance.
VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Purchase Payment Risk  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Purchase Payment Risk — Your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments is subject to restrictions. We reserve the right to refuse any Purchase Payment, to further limit your ability to make subsequent Purchase Payments with advance notice, and to require our prior approval before accepting Purchase Payments. There is no guarantee that you will always be permitted to make Purchase Payments.
VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability Risk  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability Risk — All guarantees under the Contract that are paid from our General Account (including under any Fixed Account option) are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you.
VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Business Disruption and Cybersecurity Risk  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Business Disruption and Cybersecurity Risk — Our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners, so our business is vulnerable to systems failures and cyber-attacks. Systems failures and cyber-attacks may adversely affect us, your Contract, and your Contract Value. In addition to cybersecurity risks, we are exposed to the risk that natural and man-made disasters, pandemics (like COVID-19), catastrophes, geopolitical disputes and military actions may significantly disrupt our business operations and our ability to administer the Contract. There can be no assurance that we or our service providers will be able to successfully avoid negative impacts associated with systems failures, cyber-attacks, or natural and man-made disasters, pandemics and catastrophes. We note that there may be an increased risk of cyberattacks during periods of geopolitical or military conflicts. For more information about these risks, see “More About the Contract – Business Disruption and Cybersecurity Risks.”
VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Loan Risk  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Loan Risk — The amount in the Loan Account does not participate in the investment experience of the Subaccounts, therefore, loans can impact the Contract Value and death benefit, even if the loan is repaid in full. If the Contract is surrendered while there is an outstanding loan, the surrender value will be reduced by the amount of the loan plus loan interest rate. Upon the death of the Annuitant, we will pay the Beneficiary the Contract Value less the outstanding loan and loan interest due. If you do not make any required loan payment by the end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the missed payment was due, the total outstanding loan balance will be deemed to be in default for tax reporting purposes.
VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Tax Consequences Risk  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Tax Consequences Risk — Withdrawals are generally taxable (to the extent of any earnings on the Contract), and prior to age 59½ a tax penalty may apply. In addition, even if the Contract is held for years before any withdrawal is made, the withdrawals are taxable as ordinary income rather than capital gains.
VARIFLEX LS VARIABLE ANNUITY | Advisory Fee Deduction Risk  
Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items]  
Principal Risk [Text Block] Advisory Fee Deduction Risk — If you elect to pay third-party advisory fees from your Contract Value, then the deduction will reduce the death benefit, perhaps significantly, and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax.
