Item 5. Principal Risks [Table Text Block]

Principal RisksThe 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. 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. 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 interconnected computer systems and digital data to conduct our annuity business. Because our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners, our business is vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions), and cyber-attacks, including ransomware and malware attacks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. The risk of cyber-attacks may be higher during periods of geopolitical turmoil. Such systems failures and cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your Contract Value. For instance, systems failures and cyber-attacks may interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit value, cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines, litigation, and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your Contract due to system disruptions, cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future. In addition to cyber security 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 of which could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. A natural or man-made disaster, including a pandemic (such as COVID-19), could affect the ability or willingness of our employees or the employees of our service providers to perform their job responsibilities. They could also result in our business operations being less efficient than under normal circumstances and could lead to delays in our processing of contract-related transactions, including orders from Contractowners. Disasters may negatively affect the computer and other systems on which we rely, impact our ability to calculate accumulation unit values, or have other possible negative impacts. They may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may negatively affect the value of the underlying funds and the value of your Contract. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers will be able to successfully avoid negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters.

Temporary Fee Reductions, Current Expenses [Text Block]

Investment Objective

This fund is subject to an expense reimbursement or fee waiver arrangement. As a result, this fund’s annual expenses reflect temporary expense reductions. See the fund prospectus for additional information.

Group Variable Annuity | ShortTermInvestmentRiskMember

Group Variable Annuity | VariableOptionRiskMember

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.

Group Variable Annuity | ManagedVolatilityFundRiskMember

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.

Group Variable Annuity | WithdrawalRiskIlliquidityRiskMember

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 | TransferRiskMember

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.

Group Variable Annuity | FeeandExpenseRiskMember

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 | FinancialStrengthandClaimsPayingAbilityRiskMember

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.

Group Variable Annuity | CybersecurityandBusinessInteruptionRiskMember

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.

Group Variable Annuity | Risk of Loss [Member]

Cybersecurity and Business Interruption Risks. We rely heavily on interconnected computer systems and digital data to conduct our annuity business. Because our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our business partners, our business is vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions), and cyber-attacks, including ransomware and malware attacks. These risks include, among other things, the theft, loss, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on websites and other operational disruption and unauthorized release of confidential customer information. The risk of cyber-attacks may be higher during periods of geopolitical turmoil. Such systems failures and cyber-attacks affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us and your Contract Value. For instance, systems failures and cyber-attacks may interfere with our processing of contract transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate Accumulation Unit value, cause the release and possible destruction of confidential customer or business information, impede order processing, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines, litigation, and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your Contract to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers will avoid losses affecting your Contract due to system disruptions, cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future. In addition to cyber security 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 of which could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. A natural or man-made disaster, including a pandemic (such as COVID-19), could affect the ability or willingness of our employees or the employees of our service providers to perform their job responsibilities. They could also result in our business operations being less efficient than under normal circumstances and could lead to delays in our processing of contract-related transactions, including orders from Contractowners. Disasters may negatively affect the computer and other systems on which we rely, impact our ability to calculate accumulation unit values, or have other possible negative impacts. They may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may negatively affect the value of the underlying funds and the value of your Contract. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers will be able to successfully avoid negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters.

Group Variable Annuity | Not Short Term Investment Risk [Member]

Operation of Benefit [Text Block]

Death Benefit Before the Annuity Commencement DateThe 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.
