|
| Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items] |
|
| Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block] |
Principal Risks The principal risks of investing in the Contract include:Risk of Loss. You can lose money by investing in this Contract, including loss of principal. Neither the U.S. Government nor any federal agency insures or guarantees your investment in the Contract.Short-Term Investment Risk. This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The benefits of tax deferral and long-term income also mean that the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long-term horizon.Variable Option Risk. You take all the investment risk on the Contract Value and the retirement income for amounts placed into one or more of the Subaccounts, which invest in corresponding underlying funds. If the Subaccounts you select make money, your Contract Value goes up; if they lose money, your Contract Value goes down. How much it goes up or down depends on the performance of the Subaccounts you select. Each underlying fund is subject to its own investment risks. When you invest in a Subaccount, you are exposed to the investment risks of the underlying fund. We reserve the right to remove or substitute any funds as investment options that are available under the Contract.Managed Volatility Fund Risk. Certain underlying funds may employ risk management strategies to provide for downside protection during sharp downward movements in equity markets. These funds usually, but not always, have “Managed Risk” or “Managed Volatility” in the name of the fund. These strategies could limit the upside participation of the fund in rising equity markets relative to other funds. Risk management strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains. This may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your Contract Value and the value of your guaranteed benefits. For more information on these funds and their risk management strategies, please see the funds’ prospectuses.Withdrawal Risk (Illiquidity Risk). You should carefully consider the risks associated with taking a withdrawal or surrender under the Contract. If you take a withdrawal or surrender the Contract, any applicable surrender charges will reduce the value of your Contract or the amount of money that you ultimately receive. The proceeds of your withdrawal or surrender may be subject to ordinary income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. You should also consider the impact that a withdrawal may have on the standard and optional benefits under your Contract.Transfer Risk. There may be restrictions on the number of transfers for Participants in the GVA III Contract. If permitted by your Contract, we may discontinue accepting transfers into the fixed side of the contract at any time.Loan Risk. The amount of the loan collateral 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.Fee and Expense Risk. You are subject to the risk that we may increase certain contract fees and charges, and that underlying fund expenses may increase.Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability Risk. An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to us, Lincoln New York. Any obligations (including under the fixed account option), guarantees, or benefits of the Contract are subject to our claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you. Cybersecurity and Business Interruption Risks. We rely heavily on our computer systems and those of our business partners and service providers to conduct our business. As such, our business is vulnerable to cybersecurity risks and business interruption risks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data; interference with or denial of service; attacks on websites or systems; operational disruptions; and unauthorized release of confidential customer or business information. Cybersecurity risks affecting us, any third-party administrators, underlying funds, index providers, intermediaries, and service providers may adversely affect us and/or your Contract. For instance, systems failures and cyberattacks may interfere with our processing of Contract transactions, including order processing; impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit values or other Contract values; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; and/or subject us to regulatory fines, litigation, financial losses or reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that systems disruptions, cyberattacks and information security breaches will always be detected, prevented, or avoided in the future. In addition to cybersecurity risks, we are exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, such as (but not limited to) storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts. Any such disasters could interfere with our business and our ability to administer the Contract. For example, they could lead to delays in our processing of Contract transactions, including orders from Contractowners, or could negatively impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit values or other Contract Values. They may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters will always be avoided.

|
| Item 10. Benefits Available [Line Items] |
|
| Operation of Benefit [Text Block] |
Death Benefit Before the Annuity Commencement Date The payment of Death Benefits is governed by the applicable plan and the tax code. In addition, no payment of Death Benefits provided upon the death of the Participant will be allowed that does not satisfy the requirements of code section 72(s) or section 401(a)(9) of the tax code. The Participant may designate a Beneficiary during the Participant’s lifetime and change the Beneficiary by filing a written request with us. Each change of Beneficiary revokes any previous designation. If the Participant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Death Benefit paid to the Participant’s designated Beneficiary will be the greater of: (1) the net contributions; or (2) the Participant’s account balance less any outstanding loan (including principal due and accrued interest), provided that, if we are not notified of the Participant’s death within six months of such death, we pay the Beneficiary the amount in (2). We determine the value of the Death Benefit as of the date on which the death claim is approved for payment. This payment will occur when we receive (1) proof, satisfactory to us, of the death of the Participant; (2) written authorization for payment; and (3) all required claim forms, fully completed. If a Death Benefit is payable, the Beneficiary may elect to receive payment of the Death Benefit either in the form of a lump sum settlement or an Annuity Payout, or as a combination of these two. If a lump sum settlement is requested, the proceeds will be mailed within seven days of receipt of satisfactory claim documentation as discussed previously, subject to the laws and regulations governing payment of Death Benefits. If no election is made within 60 days after we receive satisfactory notice of the Participant’s death, we will pay a lump sum settlement to the Beneficiary at that time. This payment may be postponed as permitted by the 1940 Act. Payment will be made in accordance with applicable laws and regulations governing payment of Death Benefits. Under qualified contracts, if the Beneficiary is someone other than the spouse of the deceased Participant, the tax code provides that the Beneficiary may not elect an annuity which would commence later than December 31st of the calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant’s death. If a non-spousal Beneficiary elects to receive payment in a single lump sum, the tax code provides that such payment must be received no later than December 31st of the fourth calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant’s death. If the Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the deceased Participant, distributions generally are not required under the tax code to begin earlier than December 31st of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained age 70. If the surviving spouse dies before the date distributions commence, then, for purposes of determining the date distributions to the Beneficiary must commence, the date of death of the surviving spouse is substituted for the date of death of the Participant. If the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Participant, then the spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the new Participant. Same-sex spouses should carefully consider whether to purchase annuity products that provide benefits based upon status as a spouse, and whether to exercise any spousal rights under the Contract. You are strongly encouraged to consult a tax advisor before electing spousal rights under the Contract. Other rules apply to nonqualified annuities. See “Federal Tax Matters.” If there is no living named Beneficiary on file with us at the time of a Participant’s death and unless the plan directs otherwise, we will pay the Death Benefit to the Participant’s estate in the form of a lump sum payment, upon receipt of satisfactory proof of the participant’s death, but only if we receive proof of death no later than the end of the fourth calendar year following the year of the Participant’s death. In such case, the value of the Death Benefit will be determined as of the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive due proof of death, and the lump sum Death Benefit generally will be paid within seven days of that date.

Loans
|
| Operation of Benefit [Text Block] |
Loans If the Plan permits loans, then during the Participant's accumulation period, the Participant may apply for a loan by completing a loan application that we provide. The Participant's account balance in the fixed account secures the loan. Loans are subject to restrictions imposed by the IRC, Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), and the Participant's Plan. For plans subject to the IRC and Title I of ERISA, the initial amount of a Participant loan cannot exceed the lesser of 50% of the Participant's vested account balance in the fixed account or $50,000 and, pursuant to the terms of the Contract, must be at least $1,000. For plans subject to the IRC, but not subject to Title I of ERISA, a Participant is subject to the same $50,000 maximum, but may borrow up to $10,000 of his or her vested account balance even if that would be greater than 50% of his or her vested account balance. A Participant who incurs a qualified disaster may borrow up to the lesser of $100,000 or 10% of his or her vested account balance. A Participant may have only one loan outstanding at a time and may not take more than one loan in any six-month period. Amounts serving as collateral for the loan are not subject to the minimum interest rate under the contract and will accrue interest at a rate below the loan interest rate provided in the contract. More information about loan and loan interest rates is provided in the contract, the active life certificates, and the annuity loan agreement, and is also available from us.

|
| Fixed Option Details, Description [Text Block] |
Fixed Side of the Contract Information regarding the features of the fixed account, if available, including (i) its name and (ii) its minimum guaranteed interest rate, is available in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract. Depending on when you purchased your Contract, you may be permitted to make allocations to the fixed account. The portion of the Account Value allocated to the fixed side of the contract becomes part of our general account, and does not participate in the investment experience of the VAA. In reliance on certain exemptions, exclusions and rules, we have not registered interests in the general account as a security under the Securities Act of 1933 (1933 Act) and have not registered the general account as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act). Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests in it are regulated under the 1933 Act or the 1940 Act. Disclosures in this prospectus about the general account, however, are subject to certain provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses. Contributions allocated to the fixed side of the contract are guaranteed to be credited with a minimum interest rate, specified in the Contract. A Contribution allocated to the fixed side of the contract is credited with interest beginning on the next calendar day following the date of receipt if all Participant data is complete. LNY may vary the way in which it credits interest to the fixed side of the contract from time to time. ANY INTEREST IN EXCESS OF THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM INTEREST RATE WILL BE DECLARED IN ADVANCE AT LINCOLN NEW YORK'S SOLE DISCRETION. CONTRACTOWNERS AND PARTICIPANTS BEAR THE RISK THAT NO INTEREST IN EXCESS OF THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM INTEREST RATE WILL BE DECLARED. Under GVA III, special limits apply to transfers and withdrawals from the fixed account. See Charges, Other Deductions, and Adjustments – Fixed Account Withdrawal/Transfer Limits for GVA III.

| Group Variable Annuity | Variable Option Risk |
|
| Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items] |
|
| Principal Risk [Text Block] |
Variable Option Risk. You take all the investment risk on the Contract Value and the retirement income for amounts placed into one or more of the Subaccounts, which invest in corresponding underlying funds. If the Subaccounts you select make money, your Contract Value goes up; if they lose money, your Contract Value goes down. How much it goes up or down depends on the performance of the Subaccounts you select. Each underlying fund is subject to its own investment risks. When you invest in a Subaccount, you are exposed to the investment risks of the underlying fund. We reserve the right to remove or substitute any funds as investment options that are available under the Contract.

| Group Variable Annuity | Managed Volatility Fund Risk |
|
| Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items] |
|
| Principal Risk [Text Block] |
Managed Volatility Fund Risk. Certain underlying funds may employ risk management strategies to provide for downside protection during sharp downward movements in equity markets. These funds usually, but not always, have “Managed Risk” or “Managed Volatility” in the name of the fund. These strategies could limit the upside participation of the fund in rising equity markets relative to other funds. Risk management strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit your participation in market gains. This may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your Contract Value and the value of your guaranteed benefits. For more information on these funds and their risk management strategies, please see the funds’ prospectuses.

| Group Variable Annuity | Withdrawal Risk (Illiquidity Risk) |
|
| Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items] |
|
| Principal Risk [Text Block] |
Withdrawal Risk (Illiquidity Risk). You should carefully consider the risks associated with taking a withdrawal or surrender under the Contract. If you take a withdrawal or surrender the Contract, any applicable surrender charges will reduce the value of your Contract or the amount of money that you ultimately receive. The proceeds of your withdrawal or surrender may be subject to ordinary income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. You should also consider the impact that a withdrawal may have on the standard and optional benefits under your Contract.

|
| Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items] |
|
| Principal Risk [Text Block] |
Transfer Risk. There may be restrictions on the number of transfers for Participants in the GVA III Contract. If permitted by your Contract, we may discontinue accepting transfers into the fixed side of the contract at any time.
|
| Group Variable Annuity | Loan Risk |
|
| Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items] |
|
| Principal Risk [Text Block] |
Loan Risk. The amount of the loan collateral 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.
|

| Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items] |

| Group Variable Annuity | Cybersecurity and Business Interuption Risk |
|
| Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items] |
|
| Principal Risk [Text Block] |
Cybersecurity and Business Interruption Risks. We rely heavily on our computer systems and those of our business partners and service providers to conduct our business. As such, our business is vulnerable to cybersecurity risks and business interruption risks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data; interference with or denial of service; attacks on websites or systems; operational disruptions; and unauthorized release of confidential customer or business information. Cybersecurity risks affecting us, any third-party administrators, underlying funds, index providers, intermediaries, and service providers may adversely affect us and/or your Contract. For instance, systems failures and cyberattacks may interfere with our processing of Contract transactions, including order processing; impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit values or other Contract values; cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information; and/or subject us to regulatory fines, litigation, financial losses or reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that systems disruptions, cyberattacks and information security breaches will always be detected, prevented, or avoided in the future. In addition to cybersecurity risks, we are exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, such as (but not limited to) storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts. Any such disasters could interfere with our business and our ability to administer the Contract. For example, they could lead to delays in our processing of Contract transactions, including orders from Contractowners, or could negatively impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit values or other Contract Values. They may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest (or the securities that compose an Index), which may cause your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters will always be avoided.
