Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure [Text Block] | Retirement Plans We currently have a supplemental retirement plan for certain current and former key employees (SERP), a supplemental retirement plan for officers and certain key employees (Senior SERP), and a Stewart Supplemental Retirement Plan (collectively, the “Plans”). All of our Plans are unfunded and have a measurement date of December 31. The Plans are frozen; therefore, the participants do not earn incremental benefits from additional years of service, and we do not incur any additional service cost. Retirement benefits under the SERP are based on years of service and average monthly compensation, reduced by benefits under Social Security. The Senior SERP provides retirement benefits based on years of service and position. In October 2022, we terminated our retirement plan for certain non-employee directors and paid out, in a discounted lump sum, all benefits to the participants or their heirs in the amount of $0.8 million. In December 2022, we amended the Senior SERP to terminate the participation of all our active employees and those participants were paid their benefits, in a discounted lump sum, in the amount of $0.7 million. We recognize pension related gains and losses in Other income, net on our Consolidated Statement of Operations in the year such gains and losses are incurred. The components of the Plans’ net periodic benefit cost were as follows:
| Years Ended December 31,
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020

Interest cost on projected benefit obligation | $ | 535 |  |  | $ | 482 |  |  | $ | 698 |

(1) In 2022, we terminated our Directors' Plan and amended Senior SERP to terminate the participation of all our active employees and paid out, in a discounted lump sum, all benefits to the participants or their heirs in the amount of $1.5 million. The retirement benefits under the Plans are unfunded obligations of the Company. We have purchased various life insurance policies on the participants in the Plans with the intent to use the proceeds or any cash value buildup from these policies to assist in meeting, at least to the extent of such assets, the Plans' funding requirements. The face value of these insurance policies at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $49.8 million and $49.4 million, respectively, and the cash surrender value was $40.7 million and $39.9 million, respectively. The outstan ding loans against the policies are minimal and there are no restrictions in the policies regarding loans. The Plans’ weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation and net periodic benefit cost are as follows:
| Years Ended December 31,
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  | 2020
Weighted-average discount rate used to determine obligations | 5.34 | % |  | 2.52 | % |  | 2.06 | %
Weighted-average discount rate used to determine net periodic benefit cost | 2.52 | % |  | 2.42 | % |  | 2.98 | %
We determine our discount rate used to compute future benefit obligations using an analysis of expected future benefit payments. The reasonableness of our discount rate is verified by comparing the rate to the rate earned on high-quality fixed income investments, such as the Moody’s Aa index, plus 50 basis points. The assumed rate of return on plan assets was not applicable as we pay plan benefits as they come due. As all Plans are frozen, the assumed rate of compensation increase is zero. The following benefit payments are expected to be paid over the next ten years related to our Plans (in thousands):
2023 | $ | 1,990 |
2024 | 1,796 |
2025 | 1,696 |
2026 | 1,649 |
2027 | 1,571 |
Years 2028 through 2032 | 6,595 |
Total expected benefit payments | $ | 15,297 |
We also have an employee savings plan that qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code for the exclusive benefit of our United States employees. Under the plan, participating employees may contribute a portion of their pretax and/or after-tax income in accordance with specified guidelines up to a maximum of 50%. During 2022, 2021, and 2020, we matched a percentage of the employee contributions through contributions of cash. For these years, our matching contribution was based upon the following:
Years of Vesting Service |  | Percentage of Deferred Compensation
0 — 5 years |  | 75% of the first 6% of deferred compensation
6 — 10 years |  | 100% of the first 6% of deferred compensation
11 or more years |  | 125% of the first 6% of deferred compensation
The amount of our matched contributions in 2022, 2021, and 2020 was $49.6 million, $46.0 million, and $39.8 million, respectively.
