I'm guessing you have replacement cost coverage. This means they apply depreciation and issue you a payment based on this amount. Once the repairs are done they will issue payment for the deference between the depreciation amount and what the full cost of the repairs are (i.e. replacement cost).

What is "it"... and "to me" does not make sense.
