Part of your claim payment may be waiting. Know what unlocks it.
On some replacement-cost claims, the first payment reflects actual cash value and depreciation may be withheld until policy conditions are satisfied. Colorado law defines recoverable depreciation as the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value—but your policy controls whether and how it can be recovered.
Check My Depreciation →Withheld money is not always lost money.
The first check may not represent the final amount potentially payable under a replacement-cost claim. But HAVRYO should never assume all depreciation is recoverable or that the full withheld amount will automatically be paid.
Confirm settlement terms
Determine whether the damaged property is settled on replacement-cost or ACV terms and identify relevant endorsements and conditions.
Find the depreciation
Locate depreciation by line item and determine how the insurer labels recoverable versus nonrecoverable amounts.
Track actual work and cost
Keep contracts, invoices, receipts, photos and completion evidence. The policy and insurer process determine what documentation is required.
Follow the claim process
Ask the insurer what must be submitted, when, and how additional replacement-cost benefits are requested under the policy.
Colorado defines the term. Your contract defines the path.
Colorado Revised Statutes §10-4-110.8 defines “recoverable depreciation” as the difference between the cost to replace insured property and the actual cash value of that property.
That statutory definition is useful, but it is not a promise that every claim contains recoverable depreciation. Coverage form, property, loss, repairs, costs, deadlines and policy conditions still matter.

Initial payment is not always final payment
On applicable replacement-cost claims, ACV can be an initial settlement stage. Do not infer this structure without checking the actual policy and claim documents.
Replacement cost is not a blank check
Actual repair/replacement cost, limits and policy terms can affect additional amounts payable. HAVRYO should calculate from real user documents, not invented assumptions.
No promise of additional payment
HAVRYO explains and reconciles claim information. It does not determine what an insurer owes or guarantee recovery of withheld depreciation.
Find what was withheld. Then find what it takes to recover it.
This becomes a natural module inside the Claim Payment Reconciler: policy settlement basis + insurer estimate + depreciation + deductible + actual repair cost + documentation status.
