| 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.Investment Requirements Risk. If you elect the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit, you may be subject to Investment Requirements. This means you may not be permitted to invest in certain investment options or you may be permitted to invest in certain investment options only to a limited extent. Failing to satisfy applicable Investment Requirements may result in the termination of your optional benefit. We impose Investment Requirements to reduce the risk of investment losses that may require us to use our own assets to make guaranteed payments under an optional benefit. In turn, your compliance with the Investment Requirements 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.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. The optional Death Benefits offered under the Contract also provide protection in the event of a market downturn. Likewise, there are additional costs associated with these Death Benefits, which can limit the Contract’s upside participation in the markets. 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. 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. Your ability to transfer amounts between investment options is subject to restrictions. You are generally restricted to no more than 12 transfers per Contract Year. There are also restrictions on the minimum amount that may be transferred from a variable option and the maximum amount that may be transferred from the fixed account option. If permitted by your Contract, we may discontinue accepting transfers into the fixed side of the contract at any time. Your ability to transfer between investment options may also be restricted as a result of Investment Requirements if you have elected an optional benefit.Purchase Payment Risk. Your ability to make additional Purchase Payments may be restricted under the Contract, depending on the version of the Contract that you own, the optional benefits that you have elected, and other factors.You must obtain our approval for Purchase Payments totaling $5 million or more where the optional benefits elected are the Account Value Death Benefit and/or i4LIFE® Advantage without the Guaranteed Income Benefit and $1 million or more for all other contracts. At the Company’s discretion, either amount may consider total Purchase Payments for all annuity contracts issued by the Company (or its affiliates) for the same Contractowner, joint owner, and/or Annuitant. Additionally, if you elect the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit, further restrictions apply to additional Purchase Payments. See The Contracts – Purchase Payments for complete details.Deduction of Advisory Fee Risk. This deduction of advisory fees from Contract Value may reduce the Death Benefit and other guaranteed benefits, and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax. See Benefits Available Under the Contract — Advisory Fee Withdrawals for Optional Rider(s).Election of Optional Benefit Risk. There are a variety of optional benefits under the Contract that are designed for different financial goals and to protect against different financial risks. There is a risk that you may not choose the benefit or benefits that are best suited for you based on your present or future needs and circumstances. In addition, if you elect an optional benefit and do not use it, or if the contingencies upon which the benefit depend never occur, you will have paid for a benefit that did not provide a financial return. There is also a risk that any financial return of an optional benefit, if any, will ultimately be less than the amount you paid for the benefit. You should consult with your financial professional to determine which optional benefits (if any) are appropriate for you.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 Life. 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.

These Investment Requirements will apply for the entire time your Contract is in force. This means you will be limited in your choice of Subaccount investments and in how much you can invest in certain Subaccounts. This also means you will not be able to allocate Contract Value to all of the Subaccounts that are available to Contractowners who have not elected this Death Benefit. We impose Investment Requirements to reduce the risk of investment losses that may require us to use our own assets to make a Death Benefit payout. We have divided the Subaccounts of your Contract into groups and have specified the maximum percentages of Contract Value that must be in each group at the time you purchase the rider. Some investment options are not available to you if you purchase this rider. The Investment Requirements may not be consistent with an aggressive investment strategy. You should consult with your financial professional to determine if the Investment Requirements are consistent with your investment objectives. You can select the percentages of Contract Value (or Account Value if i4LIFE® Advantage is in effect) to allocate to individual Subaccounts within each group, but the total investment for all Subaccounts within the group must comply with the specified maximum percentages for that group. In accordance with these Investment Requirements, you agree to be automatically enrolled in the portfolio rebalancing option under your Contract and thereby authorize us to automatically rebalance your Contract Value on a periodic basis. On each quarterly anniversary of the effective date of the rider, we will rebalance your Contract Value in accordance with your allocation instructions in effect at the time of the rebalancing. Any reallocation of Contract Value among the Subaccounts made by you prior to a rebalancing date will become your allocation instructions for rebalancing purposes. Confirmation of the rebalancing will appear on your quarterly statement. If we rebalance Contract Value from the Subaccounts and your allocation instructions do not comply with the Investment Requirements, portfolio rebalancing will be paused, and any subsequent transfer requests will be considered not in Good Order until updated allocation instructions are received. These investments will become your allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise. We may change the list of Subaccounts in a group, change the number of groups, change the minimum or maximum percentages of Contract Value allowed in a group, change the investment options that are or are not available to you, or change the rebalancing frequency at any time in our sole discretion. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the date of any change. We may make such modifications at any time when we believe these modifications are necessary to protect our ability to provide the guarantees under these riders. Our decision to make modifications will be based on several factors, including the general market conditions and the style and investment objectives of the Subaccount investments. At the time you receive notice of a change to the Investment Requirements, you may: 1.submit your own reallocation instructions for the Contract Value, before the effective date specified in the notice, so that the Investment Requirements are satisfied; or 2.take no action and be subject to the quarterly rebalancing as described above. If this results in a change to your allocation instructions, then these will be your new allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise.At this time, the Subaccount groups for Contracts issued on or after May 24, 2021, are as follows:
Group 1 – Unlimited Subaccounts | You may allocate 100% of your Contract Value or Account Value among any Subaccount not listed in Group 2 – Unavailable Subaccounts
Group 2 – Unavailable Subaccounts

| Operation of Benefit [Text Block] |
Death Benefits The chart below provides a brief overview of how the Death Benefit proceeds will be distributed if death occurs prior to i4LIFE® Advantage elections or prior to the selection of an Annuity Payout option. Refer to your Contract for the specific provisions applicable upon death.
|
|
|
|
Death Benefit proceeds pass to: |
|
|
There is a surviving joint owner |
The Annuitant is living or deceased |
|
|
|
There is no surviving joint owner |
The Annuitant is living or deceased |
|
|
|
|
|
Death Benefit proceeds pass to: |
|
|
There is no surviving joint owner
and the Beneficiary predeceases the
Contractowner |
The Annuitant is living or deceased |
|
|
|
The Contractowner is living |
There is no contingent Annuitant |
The youngest Contractowner
becomes the contingent Annuitant
and the Contract continues. The
Contractowner may waive* this
continuation and receive the Death
Benefit proceeds. |
|
|
The Contractowner is living |
The contingent Annuitant is living |
Contingent Annuitant becomes the
Annuitant and the Contract
continues |
|
|
The Contractowner is a trust or
other non-natural person** |
No contingent Annuitant allowed
with non-natural Contractowner |
| *Notification from the Contractowner to receive the Death Benefit proceeds must be received within 75 days of the death of the Annuitant. **Death of Annuitant is treated like death of the Contractowner. A Death Benefit may be payable if the Contractowner (or a joint owner) or Annuitant dies prior to the selection of an Annuity Payout option. You can choose the Death Benefit. Only one Death Benefit may be in effect at any one time and this Death Benefit terminates if you elect i4LIFE® Advantage or elect any other annuitization option. Generally, the more expensive the Death Benefit is, the greater the protection. While utilizing an Automatic Withdrawal Service to satisfy the requirements of the Annuity Commencement Date, the Death Benefit continues until otherwise terminated as noted in the discussion below. You should consider the following provisions carefully when designating the Beneficiary, Annuitant, any contingent Annuitant and any joint owner, as well as before changing any of these parties. The identity of these parties under the Contract may significantly affect the amount and timing of the Death Benefit or other amount paid upon a Contractowner's or Annuitant's death. You may designate a Beneficiary during your lifetime and change the Beneficiary by filing a written request with our Home Office. Each change of Beneficiary revokes any previous designation. We reserve the right to request that you send us the Contract for endorsement of a change of Beneficiary. Upon the death of the Contractowner, a Death Benefit will be paid to the Beneficiary. Upon the death of a joint owner, the Death Benefit will be paid to the surviving joint owner. If the Contractowner is a corporation or other non-individual (non-natural person), the death of the Annuitant will be treated as the death of the Contractowner. If an Annuitant who is not the Contractowner or joint owner dies, then the contingent Annuitant, if named, becomes the Annuitant and no Death Benefit is payable on the death of the Annuitant. If no contingent Annuitant is named, the Contractowner (or younger of joint owners) becomes the Annuitant. Alternatively, a Death Benefit may be paid to the Contractowner (and joint owner, if applicable, in equal shares). Notification of the election of this Death Benefit must be received by us within 75 days of the death of the Annuitant. The Contract terminates when any Death Benefit is paid due to the death of the Annuitant.If a Contractowner, joint owner, or Annuitant was added or changed subsequent to the effective date of the Contract (unless the change occurred because of the death of a prior Contractowner, joint owner, or Annuitant), upon death, we will only pay the Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the death claim. If your Contract Value equals zero, no Death Benefit will be paid. Subject to state and broker-dealer approval, annual Advisory Fee Withdrawals up to 1.25% of your Contract Value within a Contract Year will not be considered a withdrawal under your Death Benefit calculation of the sum of all Purchase Payments or highest Contract Value. Your Contract Value will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal, but the value of your Death Benefit will not be negatively impacted. For Annual Advisory Fee Withdrawals that exceed 1.25% of your Contract Value within a Contract Year, the portion of the Advisory Fee Withdrawal over 1.25% will be treated as a withdrawal under this Death Benefit and reduce your guarantees.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)
|
| Operation of Benefit [Text Block] |
Dollar-Cost Averaging. Dollar-cost averaging allows you to transfer amounts from the DCA fixed account, if available, or certain Subaccounts into the Subaccounts on a monthly basis or in accordance with other terms we make available. You may elect to participate in the DCA program at the time of application or at any time before the selection of an Annuity Payout option by completing our election form, by calling our Home Office, or by other electronic means. The minimum amount to be dollar cost averaged (DCA’d) is $1,500 over any time period between three and 60 months. We may offer different time periods for new Purchase Payments and for transfers of Contract Value. State variations may exist. Once elected, the program will remain in effect until the earlier of: ●the selection of an Annuity Payout option;●the value of the amount being DCA’d is depleted; or●you cancel the program by written request or by telephone if we have your telephone authorization on file. We reserve the right to limit certain time periods or to restrict access to this program at any time. A transfer made as part of this program is not considered a transfer for purposes of limiting the number of transfers that may be made, or assessing any charges which may apply to transfers. Upon receipt of an additional Purchase Payment allocated to the DCA fixed account, if available, the existing program duration will be extended to reflect the end date of the new DCA program. However, the existing interest crediting rate will not be extended. The existing interest crediting rate will expire at its originally scheduled expiration date and the value remaining in the DCA account from the original amount as well as any additional Purchase Payments will be credited with interest at the standard DCA rate at the time. If you cancel the DCA program, your remaining Contract Value in the DCA program will be allocated to the Subaccounts according to your allocation instructions. We reserve the right to discontinue or modify this program at any time. If you have chosen DCA from one of the Subaccounts, only the amount allocated to that DCA program will be transferred. Investment gain, if any, will remain in that Subaccount unless you reallocate it to one of the other Subaccounts. If you are enrolled in automatic rebalancing, this amount may be automatically rebalanced based on your allocation instructions in effect at the time of rebalancing. DCA does not assure a profit or protect against loss.

Advisory Fee Withdrawals
|
| Operation of Benefit [Text Block] |
Advisory Fee Withdrawals for Optional Rider(s)You may elect to take withdrawals from your Contract to pay the advisory fees associated with your Fee-Based Financial Plan (Advisory Fee Withdrawals). This Advisory Fee Withdrawal treatment may not be available in all states, and certain broker-dealers or advisory firms may not allow withdrawals to pay advisory fees, so please check with your financial professional. Cumulative annual Advisory Fee Withdrawals up to 1.25% of your Contract Value within a Contract Year will not be considered a withdrawal under your rider(s). We reserve the right to increase or decrease this percentage at any time. For cumulative annual Advisory Fee Withdrawals that exceed 1.25% of your Contract Value within a Contract Year, the portion of the Advisory Fee Withdrawal over 1.25% will be treated as a withdrawal under your rider(s). Your Contract Value and Contract Value portion of the elected Death Benefit will be reduced by the amount of each Advisory Fee Withdrawal. For example, if your Account Value is $100,000, and your annual Advisory Fee Withdrawals equal 1.00% of your Contract Value, your Advisory Fee is $1,000. Since your Advisory Fee Withdrawal percentage is under the Advisory Fee Withdrawal limit of 1.25%, your withdrawal will not be treated as a withdrawal, and there is no negative impact to the guarantees under your rider(s). If your annual Advisory Fee Withdrawals equal 1.30% of your Account Value, your Advisory Fee is $1,300. Since your Advisory Fee Withdrawal percentage is greater than the Advisory Fee Withdrawal limit of 1.25%, the percentage of total advisory fees that exceed 1.25% will be treated as a withdrawal and will reduce the guarantees under your rider(s). The impact of Advisory Fee Withdrawals on each optional rider is explained below in its respective section.

Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit
|
| Operation of Benefit [Text Block] |
Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit. The Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit provides a Death Benefit equal to the greater of: ●the current Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim; or ●the sum of all Purchase Payments decreased by withdrawals (including additional withdrawals under i4LIFE® Advantage) in the same proportion that withdrawals reduced the Contract Value. Regular Income Payments under i4LIFE® Advantage reduce the sum of all Purchase Payment amounts on a dollar for dollar basis. For example, assume an initial deposit into the Contract of $10,000, and no withdrawals have been taken. The Contract Value decreases and equals $8,000 on the Valuation Date the death claim is approved. Since your principal is guaranteed, the amount of Death Benefit paid equals $10,000. In a declining market, withdrawals deducted in the same proportion that withdrawals may reduce the Contract Value may have a magnified effect on the reduction of the Death Benefit payable. This is because the reduction in the benefit may be more than the dollar amount withdrawn from the Contract Value. All references to withdrawals include deductions for any applicable charges associated with those withdrawals, financial planning fees, and premium taxes, if any.Availability. The Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit is available for both qualified and nonqualified contracts can only be elected at the time the Contract is purchased. If elected, the rider will be effective on the Contract’s effective date. The oldest Contractowner, joint owner (if applicable), or Annuitant must be under age 86 at the time of issuance. The Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit may not be terminated unless you surrender the Contract. In addition, the rider will terminate: 1.on the Annuity Commencement Date; 2.on the date the Lifetime Income Period begins under i4LIFE® Advantage; 3.upon payment of a Death Benefit; or 4.at any time all Contractowners or Annuitants are changed, except when a surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract as the new Contractowner without taking the increase in Contract Value, as described below. If the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Contractowner, the surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the new Contractowner in one of two ways: ●Continue the Contract – No Increase in Contract Value: The surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the new Contractowner without taking an increase in Contract Value, and the spouse may continue the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit with no change in the way it is calculated. The rider charge rate that was in effect immediately prior to the death will continue to apply. ●Continue the Contract – Increase in Contract Value: The surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the new Contractowner and elect to have a portion of the Death Benefit credited to the Contract and increase the Contract Value. Any portion of the Death Benefit that would have been payable (if the Contract had not been continued) that exceeds the current Contract Value on the Valuation Date we approve the claim will be added to the Contract Value. If the Contract is continued in this way, the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit rider and charge will terminate, and the spouse will have the Contract Value Death Benefit.

i4LIFE® Advantage
|
| Operation of Benefit [Text Block] |
i4LIFE® Advantage i4LIFE® Advantage (the Variable Annuity Payout Option Rider in your Contract) is an optional Annuity Payout rider you may purchase at an additional cost and is separate and distinct from other Annuity Payout options offered under your Contract and described later in this prospectus. See Charges and Other Deductions – i4LIFE® Advantage Charge. i4LIFE® Advantage provides variable, periodic Regular Income Payments for life subject to certain conditions. These payments are made during two time periods: an Access Period and a Lifetime Income Period, which are discussed in further detail below. If your Account Value is reduced to zero (except by additional withdrawals as described below), these payments will continue for your life (or the lives of you and your Secondary Life under the joint life option) during the Lifetime Income Period. i4LIFE® Advantage is different from other Annuity Payout options provided by Lincoln because with i4LIFE® Advantage, you have the ability to make additional withdrawals or surrender the Contract during the Access Period. If your Account Value is reduced to zero due to any additional withdrawals (except for Advisory Fee Withdrawals that are within the Advisory Fee Withdrawal percentage), i4LIFE® Advantage will end and your Contract will terminate. When you elect i4LIFE® Advantage, you must choose the Annuitant and Secondary Life (if applicable). The Annuitant and Secondary Life may not be changed after i4LIFE® Advantage is elected. For qualified contracts, the Secondary Life must be the spouse. See i4LIFE® Advantage Death Benefit regarding the impact of a change to the Annuitant prior to the i4LIFE® Advantage election. If i4LIFE® Advantage is selected, the applicable transfer provisions among Subaccounts and the fixed account will continue to be those specified in your annuity contract for transfers on or before the selection of an Annuity Payout option. However, once i4LIFE® Advantage begins, any automatic withdrawal service will terminate (except an AWS service designated specifically for the purpose of Advisory Fee Withdrawals). See The Contracts – Transfers on or Before the Selection of an Annuity Payout Option. Additional Purchase Payments may be made during the Access Period for an IRA annuity contract, Additional Purchase Payments will not be accepted after the Periodic Income Commencement Date for a nonqualified annuity contract. Availability. i4LIFE® Advantage is available for contracts with a Contract Value of at least $50,000 and may be elected at the time of application or at any time before any other Annuity Payout option is elected by sending a completed i4LIFE® Advantage election form to our Home Office. i4LIFE® Advantage is available on nonqualified annuities, IRAs and Roth IRAs (check with your financial professional regarding availability with SEP market). i4LIFE® Advantage for IRA contracts is only available if the Annuitant and Secondary Life are age 59½ or older at the time the option is elected. i4LIFE® Advantage must be elected by age 80 on IRA contracts or age 110 on nonqualified contracts. i4LIFE® Advantage is not available to beneficiaries of IRA contracts. Additional limitations on issue ages and features may be necessary to comply with the IRC provisions for required minimum distributions. When you elect i4LIFE® Advantage, you will receive a Death Benefit. The Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit and, for Contracts purchased on and after May 20, 2024, the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit are available in conjunction with i4LIFE® Advantage, however, the Death Benefit rider must be elected at the time the Contract is purchased, regardless of when i4LIFE® Advantage is elected. An additional charge for i4LIFE® Advantage will apply. The amount paid under the new Death Benefit may be less than the amount that would have been paid under the Death Benefit provided before i4LIFE® Advantage began (if premium taxes have been deducted from the Contract Value). See The Contracts — i4LIFE® Advantage Death Benefit. Access Period. The Access Period begins on the Periodic Income Commencement Date and is a defined period of time during which we pay variable, periodic Regular Income Payments and provide a Death Benefit. During this period, you may surrender the Contract and make withdrawals from your Account Value (defined below). The Lifetime Income Period begins immediately at the end of the Access Period, the remaining Account Value is used to make Regular Income Payments for the rest of your life (or the Secondary Life if applicable). During the Lifetime Income Period, you will no longer be able to make withdrawals including Advisory Fee Withdrawals, or surrenders or receive a Death Benefit. If your Account Value is reduced to zero because of Regular Income Payments or market loss, your Access Period ends. The minimum and maximum Access Periods are established at the time you elect i4LIFE® Advantage. The current Access Period requirements are outlined in the following chart:

Longer of 20 years or the difference
between your current age and age 90 |
To age 115 for nonqualified contracts;
to age 100 for qualified contracts | Generally, shorter Access Periods will produce a higher initial Regular Income Payment than longer Access Periods. At any time during the Access Period, you may extend or shorten the length of the Access Period subject to Home Office approval. Additional restrictions may apply if you are under age 59½ when you request a change to the Access Period. Currently, if you extend the Access Period, it must be extended at least 5 years. If you change the Access Period, subsequent Regular Income Payments will be adjusted accordingly, and the Account Value remaining at the end of the new Access Period will be applied to continue Regular Income Payments for your life. Currently, changes to the Access Period can only be made on Periodic Income Commencement Date anniversaries. Additional limitations on issue ages and features may be necessary to comply with the IRC provisions for required minimum distributions. We may reduce or terminate the Access Period for IRA i4LIFE® Advantage contracts in order to keep the Regular Income Payments in compliance with IRC provisions for required minimum distributions. Account Value. The initial Account Value is the Contract Value on the Valuation Date i4LIFE® Advantage is effective (or your initial Purchase Payment if i4LIFE® Advantage is purchased at contract issue), less any applicable premium taxes. During the Access Period, the Account Value on a Valuation Date will equal the total value of all of the Contractowner's Accumulation Units plus the Contractowner's value in the fixed account, and will be reduced by Regular Income Payments made as well as any withdrawals taken. You will have access to your Account Value during the Access Period. After the Access Period ends, the remaining Account Value will be applied to continue Regular Income Payments for your life and the Account Value will be reduced to zero.Regular Income Payments during the Access Period. i4LIFE® Advantage provides for variable, periodic Regular Income Payments for as long as an Annuitant (or Secondary Life, if applicable) is living. When you elect i4LIFE® Advantage, you will make several choices that will impact the amount of your Regular Income Payments: ●the date you will receive the initial Regular Income Payment; ●the frequency of the payments (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually); ●the frequency the payment is recalculated; ●the assumed investment return (AIR); and ●the date the Access Period ends and the Lifetime Income Period begins. If you do not choose a payment frequency, the default is a monthly payment frequency. You may not change your payment frequency during the Lifetime Income Period. In most states, you may also elect to have Regular Income Payments from nonqualified contracts recalculated only once each year rather than recalculated at the time of each payment. This results in level Regular Income Payments between recalculation dates. Qualified contracts are only recalculated once per year, on December 31st (if not a Valuation Date, then on the first Valuation Date of the calendar year). Once Regular Income Payments begin, they will continue until the death of the Annuitant or Secondary Life, if applicable. AIR rates of 3% or 4% may be available for Regular Income Payments under i4LIFE® Advantage. For i4LIFE® Advantage elections prior to November 20, 2023, AIR rates of 5% and 6% were also available, but certain states had limited the availability of 5% and 6% AIR. The higher the AIR you choose, the higher your initial Regular Income Payment will be and the higher the return must be to increase subsequent Regular Income Payments. Regular Income Payments must begin within one year of the date you elect i4LIFE® Advantage and will continue until the death of the Annuitant or Secondary Life, if applicable. For information regarding income tax consequences of Regular Income Payments, see Federal Tax Matters. The initial Regular Income Payment is calculated from the Account Value on a date no more than 14 days prior to the date you select to begin receiving Regular Income Payments. This calculation date is called the Periodic Income Commencement Date, and is the same date the Access Period begins. The amount of the initial Regular Income Payment is determined by dividing the Contract Value (or Purchase Payment if elected at contract issue), less applicable premium taxes by 1,000 and multiplying the result by an annuity factor. The annuity factor is based upon: ●the age of the Annuitant and Secondary Life, if applicable; ●the length of the Access Period selected; ●the frequency of the Regular Income Payments; ●the AIR selected; and ●the Individual Annuity Mortality table. The annuity factor used to determine the Regular Income Payments reflects the fact that, during the Access Period, you have the ability to withdraw the entire Account Value and that a Death Benefit will be paid to your Beneficiary upon your death. These benefits during the Access Period result in a slightly lower Regular Income Payment, during both the Access Period and the Lifetime Income Period, than would be payable if this access was not permitted and no lump-sum Death Benefit was payable. (The Contractowner must elect an Access Period of no less than the minimum Access Period which is currently set at 10 years.) The annuity factor also reflects the requirement that there be sufficient Account Value at the end of the Access Period to continue your Regular Income Payments for the remainder of your life (and/or the Secondary Life if applicable), during the Lifetime Income Period, with no further access or Death Benefit. The amount of your Regular Income Payment will be impacted by the length of the Access Period you have chosen. For example, if a 70-year old makes a $100,000 initial Purchase Payment, elects monthly payments, a 4% AIR, and a 20-year Access Period, the initial Regular Income Payment will be $504.96 per month ($6,059.60 annually). Using the same assumptions, but with a 30-year Access Period, the initial Regular Income Payment will be $448.41 per month ($5,380.90 annually). The Account Value will vary with the actual net investment return of the Subaccounts selected and the interest credited on the fixed account, which then determines the subsequent Regular Income Payments during the Access Period. Each subsequent Regular Income Payment (unless the levelized option is selected) is determined by dividing the Account Value on the applicable Valuation Date by 1,000 and multiplying this result by an annuity factor revised to reflect the declining length of the Access Period. As a result of this calculation, the actual net returns in the Account Value are measured against the AIR to determine subsequent Regular Income Payments. If the actual net investment return (annualized) for the Contract exceeds the AIR, the Regular Income Payment will increase at a rate approximately equal to the amount of such excess. Conversely, if the actual net investment return for the Contract is less than the AIR, the Regular Income Payment will decrease. For example, if net investment return is 3% higher (annualized) than the AIR, the Regular Income Payment for the next year will increase by approximately 3%. Conversely, if actual net investment return is 3% lower than the AIR, the Regular Income Payment will decrease by approximately 3%. Withdrawals made during the Access Period will also reduce the Account Value that is available for Regular Income Payments, and subsequent Regular Income Payments will be recalculated and could be increased or reduced, based on the Account Value following the withdrawal. Advisory Fee Withdrawals up to 1.25% of your Account Value will not trigger a recalculation of your Regular Income Payments. For a joint life option, if either the Annuitant or Secondary Life dies during the Access Period, Regular Income Payments will be recalculated using a revised annuity factor based on the single surviving life, if doing so provides a higher Regular Income Payment. On a joint life option, the Secondary Life must be either the primary Beneficiary or joint owner in order to receive the remaining payments after the first life’s death. For nonqualified contracts, if the Annuitant and Secondary Life, if applicable, both die during the Access Period, the annuity factor will be revised for a non-life contingent Regular Income Payment and Regular Income Payments will continue until the Account Value is fully paid out and the Access Period ends. For qualified contracts, if the Annuitant and Secondary Life, if applicable, both die during the Access Period, i4LIFE® Advantage will terminate. Regular Income Payments during the Lifetime Income Period. The Lifetime Income Period begins at the end of the Access Period if either the Annuitant or Secondary Life is living. Your earlier elections regarding the frequency of Regular Income Payments, AIR and the frequency of the recalculation do not change. The initial Regular Income Payment during the Lifetime Income Period is determined by dividing the Account Value on the last Valuation Date of the Access Period by 1,000 and multiplying the result by an annuity factor revised to reflect that the Access Period has ended. The annuity factor is based upon: ●the age of the Annuitant and Secondary Life (if living); ●the frequency of the Regular Income Payments; ●the AIR selected; and ●the Individual Annuity Mortality table. The impact of the length of the Access Period and any withdrawals made during the Access Period will continue to be reflected in the Regular Income Payments during the Lifetime Income Period. To determine subsequent Regular Income Payments, the Contract is credited with a fixed number of Annuity Units equal to the initial Regular Income Payment (during the Lifetime Income Period) divided by the Annuity Unit value (by Subaccount). Subsequent Regular Income Payments are determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units per Subaccount by the Annuity Unit value. Your Regular Income Payments will vary based on the value of your Annuity Units. If your Regular Income Payments are adjusted on an annual basis, the total of the annual payment is transferred to Lincoln Life's general account to be paid out based on the payment mode you selected. Your payment(s) will not be affected by market performance during that year. Your Regular Income Payment(s) for the following year will be recalculated at the beginning of the following year based on the current value of the Annuity Units. Regular Income Payments will continue for as long as the Annuitant or Secondary Life, if applicable, is living, and will continue to be adjusted for investment performance of the Subaccounts your Annuity Units are invested in (and the fixed account if applicable). Regular Income Payments vary with investment performance. During the Lifetime Income Period, there is no longer an Account Value; therefore, no withdrawals are available and no Death Benefit is payable. In addition, transfers are not allowed from a fixed annuity payment to a variable annuity payment.i4LIFE® Advantage Credit. A quarterly i4LIFE® Advantage Credit is available if you select a minimum Access Period that is the longer of 20 years or the difference between your age and age 85, and you maintain a minimum threshold value. The threshold values and applicable credit percentages are outlined in the chart below. The i4LIFE® Advantage Credit is only available if you elect i4LIFE® Advantage on or after November 20, 2023 (subject to state approval). If you elect the rider at the time you purchase the Contract, the first i4LIFE® Advantage Credit will apply three months from the contract issue date. If you elect the rider after we issue the Contract, the first i4LIFE® Advantage Credit will apply three months from the first Regular Income Payment. Thereafter, it will apply every three months, if all conditions are met. The i4LIFE® Advantage Credit will end at the end of the Access Period. If the Contract is terminated for any reason, including death, no further i4LIFE® Advantage Credit will be paid. Proportionate credits will not be applied.i4LIFE® Advantage Death Benefit When you elect i4LIFE® Advantage, the Death Benefit option that you previously elected will become the Death Benefit election under i4LIFE® Advantage. The amount paid under the new Death Benefit may be less than the amount that would have been paid under the Death Benefit provided before i4LIFE® Advantage began (if premium taxes had been deducted from the Contract Value). i4LIFE® Advantage Account Value Death Benefit. The i4LIFE® Advantage Account Value Death Benefit is only available during the Access Period and is equal to the Account Value as of the Valuation Date on which we approve the payment of the death claim. i4LIFE® Advantage Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit. The Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit is available in conjunction with i4LIFE® Advantage however, the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit must be elected at the time the Contract is purchased, regardless of when i4LIFE® Advantage is elected. Refer to the description of Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit in the Death Benefit section of this prospectus. All other provisions of this section will apply to Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit with i4LIFE® Advantage. i4LIFE® Advantage Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit. The Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit is available in conjunction with i4LIFE® Advantage, however, the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit must be elected at the time the Contract is purchased, regardless of when i4LIFE® Advantage is elected. Refer to the description of Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit in the Death Benefit section of this prospectus. All other provisions of this section will apply to Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit with i4LIFE® Advantage.General Death Benefit Provisions. These Death Benefit options are only available during the Access Period and will terminate when the Account Value equals zero, because the Access Period terminates. On a joint life option, the Secondary Life must be either the primary Beneficiary or joint owner in order to receive the remaining payments after the first life’s death. For nonqualified contracts, upon the death of the Contractowner, joint owner or Annuitant, the Contractowner (or Beneficiary) may elect to terminate the Contract and receive full payment of the Death Benefit or may elect to continue the Contract and receive Regular Income Payments. Upon the death of the Secondary Life, who is not also an owner, only the surrender value is paid. If you are the owner of an IRA annuity contract, and there is no Secondary Life, and you die during the Access Period, the i4LIFE® Advantage will terminate. A spouse Beneficiary may start a new i4LIFE® Advantage program. If a death occurs during the Access Period, the value of the Death Benefit will be determined as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim. Approval of payment will occur upon our receipt of all the following: 1.an original certified death certificate or any other proof of death satisfactory to us; and 2.written authorization for payment; and 3.all required claim forms, fully completed (including selection of a settlement option). Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, the payment of Death Benefits provided under this Contract must be made in compliance with Code Section 72(s) or 401(a)(9) as applicable, as amended from time to time. Death Benefits may be taxable. See Federal Tax Matters. Upon notification to us of the death, Regular Income Payments may be suspended until the death claim is approved by us. Upon approval, a lump sum payment for the value of any suspended payments will be made as of the date the death claim is approved, and Regular Income Payments will continue, if applicable. If a lump sum settlement is elected, the proceeds will be mailed within seven days of approval by us of the claim subject to the laws, regulations and tax code governing payment of Death Benefits. This payment may be postponed as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.Withdrawals. You may request a withdrawal at any time during the Access Period. Any withdrawal will reduce your Account Value. All withdrawals except Advisory Fee Withdrawals up to 1.25% of your Account Value will trigger a recalculation of Regular Income Payments. Withdrawals may have tax consequences. See Federal Tax Matters. Surrender. At any time prior to or during the Access Period, you may surrender the Contract by withdrawing the surrender value. If the Contract is surrendered, the Contract terminates and no further Regular Income Payments will be made. Termination. For IRA contracts, you may terminate i4LIFE® Advantage prior to the end of the Access Period by notifying us in writing. The termination will be effective on the next Valuation Date after we receive the notice. Upon termination, the i4LIFE® Advantage charge will end and the base contract expense for the Account Value Death Benefit will resume. If you have elected Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit or Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit, that charge will remain. Your Contract Value upon termination will be equal to the Account Value on the Valuation Date we terminate i4LIFE® Advantage. For nonqualified contracts, you may not terminate i4LIFE® Advantage once you have elected it.

Credit Percentage (Quarterly) |
|
| If you elect the rider at the time you purchase the Contract, the initial threshold value equals the initial Purchase Payment. If you elect the rider after we issue the Contract, the initial threshold value equals the Account Value on the first Regular Income Payment date. The threshold value will be increased by additional Purchase Payments (qualified contracts only), which may cause your Contract to move into a Tier 1 threshold, or to move from a Tier 1 to a Tier 2 threshold and receive the applicable credit. Conversely, additional withdrawals (exclusive of i4LIFE® Advantage payments, required minimum distributions, and Advisory Fee Withdrawals that do not exceed the Advisory Fee Withdrawal percentage) will reduce your threshold value on a dollar-for-dollar basis, potentially dropping a Tier 2 contract to a Tier 1 contract, or to become ineligible for the credit. The i4LIFE® Advantage Credit will not be applied when the minimum threshold value is not met at the time of the quarterly evaluation. If you shorten the Access Period so that it no longer meets the stated requirement, the i4LIFE® Advantage Credit will end. However, if you subsequently extend the Access Period to meet the requirement, the i4LIFE® Advantage Credit will resume if the minimum threshold value requirement is met. The i4LIFE® Advantage Credit will be allocated to the Subaccounts in proportion to the Contract Value in each variable Subaccount on the quarterly Valuation Date. There is no additional charge to receive this i4LIFE® Advantage Credit, and in no case will the i4LIFE® Advantage Credit be less than zero. The amount of any i4LIFE® Advantage Credit received will be noted on your quarterly statement. Confirmation statements for each individual transaction will not be issued. i4LIFE® Advantage Credits are not considered Purchase Payments.

Availability. The Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit may not be available in all states. Please check with your financial professional regarding availability. The Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit is available for both qualified and nonqualified contracts, and can only be elected at the time the Contract is purchased. If elected, the rider will be effective on the Contract’s effective date. The oldest Contractowner, joint owner (if applicable), or Annuitant must be under age 76 at the time of election. If you elect the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit, you will be required to adhere to Investment Requirements, which will limit your ability to invest in certain Subaccounts offered in your Contract. See The Contracts – Investment Requirements. The Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit may not be terminated unless you surrender the Contract. In addition, the rider will terminate: 1.on the selection of an Annuity Payout option; 2.on the date the Lifetime Income Period begins under i4LIFE® Advantage; 3.upon payment of a Death Benefit under the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit; or 4.at any time all Contractowners or Annuitants are changed, except when a surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract as the new Contractowner without taking the increase in Contract Value, as described below. If the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Contractowner, the surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the new Contractowner in one of two ways: ●Continue the Contract – No Increase in Contract Value: The surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the new Contractowner without taking an increase in Contract Value, and the spouse may continue the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit with no change in the way it is calculated. The rider charge rate that was in effect immediately prior to the death will continue to apply. ●Continue the Contract – Increase in Contract Value: The surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the new Contractowner and elect to have a portion of the Death Benefit credited to the Contract and increase the Contract Value. Any portion of the Death Benefit that would have been payable (if the Contract had not been continued) that exceeds the current Contract Value on the Valuation Date we approve the claim will be added to the Contract Value. If the Contract is continued in this way, the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit rider and charge will terminate, and the spouse will have the Contract Value Death Benefit.

| Calculation Method of Benefit [Text Block] |
Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit. The amount of the Death Benefit payable under this rider is the greatest of the following amounts: ●the current Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim; or ●the sum of all Purchase Payments decreased by all withdrawals (including additional withdrawals under i4LIFE® Advantage) in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Contract Value. Regular Income Payments under i4LIFE® Advantage reduce the sum of all Purchase Payments on a dollar for dollar basis; or ●the current Contract Value as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim plus an amount equal to the Enhancement Rate multiplied by the lesser of: ●the contract earnings; or ●the earnings limit. Note: If there are no contract earnings, the Enhancement Rate will not apply to Death Benefit amounts. However, there will always be at least a Contract Value death benefit. In a declining market, withdrawals deducted in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Contract Value may have a magnified effect on the reduction of the Death Benefit payable. This is because the reduction in the benefit may be more that the dollar amount of the withdrawal from the Contract Value. All references to withdrawals include deductions for any applicable charges associated with those withdrawals, financial planning fees, and premium taxes, if any.The Enhancement Rate is 40% for all Contractowners. Contract earnings equal: ●the current Contract Value as of the date of death of the individual for whom a death claim is approved by us for payment; minus ●the sum of all Purchase Payments, decreased by withdrawals as of the date of death (including additional withdrawals under i4LIFE® Advantage) in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Contract Value (such result will never be less than zero). Regular Income Payments under i4LIFE® Advantage and Advisory Fee Withdrawals up to 1.25% of your Account Value reduce the sum of all Purchase Payments on a dollar for dollar basis (such result will never be less than zero). The earnings limit equals 200% (as of the date of death) of: ●the sum of all Purchase Payments, decreased by withdrawals (including additional withdrawals under i4LIFE® Advantage) in the same proportion that withdrawals reduce the Contract Value (such result will never be less than zero). Regular Income Payments under i4LIFE® Advantage and Advisory Fee Withdrawals up to 1.25% of your Account Value do not reduce the sum of all Purchase Payments. ●The following example shows how the death benefit amount is calculated under the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit. It assumes an initial deposit of $10,000 and an Enhancement rate of 40%:

General Death Benefit Information Your Death Benefit terminates on and after the selection of an Annuity Payout option. i4LIFE® Advantage only provides Death Benefit options during the Access Period. There are no Death Benefits during the Lifetime Income Period. Please see the i4LIFE® Advantage – i4LIFE® Advantage Death Benefit section of this prospectus for more information. If there are joint owners, upon the death of the first Contractowner, we will pay a Death Benefit to the surviving joint owner. The surviving joint owner will be treated as the primary, designated Beneficiary. Any other Beneficiary designation on record at the time of death will be treated as a contingent Beneficiary. If the surviving joint owner is the spouse of the deceased joint owner, he/she may continue the Contract as sole Contractowner. Upon the death of the spouse who continued the Contract, we will pay a Death Benefit to the designated Beneficiary(s) unless either the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit or the Guarantee of Principal Death Benefit is in effect as described above. If the Beneficiary is the spouse of the Contractowner, then the spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the new Contractowner. All Contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law. The U.S. Supreme Court has held that same-sex marriages must be permitted under state law and that marriages recognized under state law will be recognized for federal law purposes. Domestic partnerships and civil unions that are not recognized as legal marriages under state law, however, will not be treated as marriages under federal law. You are strongly encouraged to consult a tax advisor before electing spousal rights under the Contract.The value of the Death Benefit will be determined as of the Valuation Date we approve the payment of the claim. Approval of payment will occur upon our receipt of a claim submitted in Good Order. To be in Good Order, we require all the following: 1.an original certified death certificate or other proof of death satisfactory to us; and 2.written authorization for payment; and 3.all required claim forms, fully completed (including selection of a settlement option). Notwithstanding any provision of this Contract to the contrary, the payment of Death Benefits provided under this Contract must be made in compliance with Code Section 72(s) or 401(a)(9) as applicable, as amended from time to time. Death Benefits may be taxable. See Federal Tax Matters. Unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, one of the following procedures will take place on the death of a Beneficiary: ●if any Beneficiary dies before the Contractowner, that Beneficiary’s interest will go to any other Beneficiaries named, according to their respective interests; and/or ●if no Beneficiary survives the Contractowner, the proceeds will be paid to the Contractowner’s estate. If the Beneficiary is a minor, court documents appointing the guardian/custodian may be required. The Beneficiary may choose the method of payment of the Death Benefit unless the Contractowner has already selected a settlement option. If the Contract is a nonqualified contract, the Death Benefit payable to the Beneficiary or joint owner must be distributed within five years of the Contractowner’s date of death unless the Beneficiary begins receiving, within one year of the Contractowner’s death, the distribution in the form of a life annuity or an annuity for a designated period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy. If the Death Benefit is not distributed within five years of the Contractowner’s date of death, for any reason, including the claim was not presented in Good Order, then the Company will pay the proceeds to the Beneficiary. If the Contract is a qualified contract or IRA, then according to the IRC, the Death Benefit payable to the Beneficiary or joint owner must be distributed within ten years of the Contractowner’s date of death unless the Beneficiary is an “eligible designated beneficiary”. An eligible designated beneficiary may take the Death Benefit distribution in the form of a life annuity or an annuity for a designated period not extending beyond the Beneficiary’s life expectancy, subject to certain additional exceptions. If the Contract is not distributed within the ten-year deadline, for any reason, including that the claim was not presented in Good Order, the balance is treated as a required minimum distribution under the Internal Revenue Code and subject to a 50% tax. Upon the death of the Annuitant, Federal tax law requires that an annuity election be made no later than 60 days after we have approved the death claim for payment. The recipient of a Death Benefit may elect to receive payment either in the form of a lump sum settlement or an Annuity Payout. If a lump sum settlement is elected, the proceeds will be mailed within seven days of approval by us of the claim subject to the laws, regulations and tax code governing payment of Death Benefits. This payment may be postponed as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

|
| 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.

|
| Item 5. Principal Risks [Line Items] |
|
| Principal Risk [Text Block] |
Investment Requirements Risk. If you elect the Earnings Optimizer Death Benefit, you may be subject to Investment Requirements. This means you may not be permitted to invest in certain investment options or you may be permitted to invest in certain investment options only to a limited extent. Failing to satisfy applicable Investment Requirements may result in the termination of your optional benefit. We impose Investment Requirements to reduce the risk of investment losses that may require us to use our own assets to make guaranteed payments under an optional benefit. In turn, your compliance with the Investment Requirements 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.

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. The optional Death Benefits offered under the Contract also provide protection in the event of a market downturn. Likewise, there are additional costs associated with these Death Benefits, which can limit the Contract’s upside participation in the markets. 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.

|
| 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.
