Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Effective October 1, 2014, we entered into a coinsurance reinsurance transaction whereby we ceded an additional 16.7% of the hospital benefit of one of Aflac Japan’s closed medical in-force blocks of business. This transaction is an extension of the treaty executed in the third quarter of 2013. In the event that the reinsurer is unable to meet their obligation, we remain liable for the reinsured claims. As a further hedge of foreign exchange risk, in October 2014 we entered into additional foreign exchange forwards as an economic hedge on 82.5 billion yen of future profit repatriation. In October 2014, the Parent Company and Aflac entered into a 364-day uncommitted bilateral line of credit that provides for borrowings in the amount of $100 million. Borrowings under this credit agreement may be used for general corporate purposes. On October 20, 2014, we sold our total investment in U.S. Treasuries of $1.4 billion held by Aflac Japan, realizing a gain of $46 million.
