So far, the commission has received 598 claims in relation to the 6.2 quake, with 456 claims being resolved.
Majority of the claims came from the Greater Wellington region, and more than 80 claims also came from Christchurch and Nelson.
The Commission's head of response and recovery, Robyn Nation, says it's important all claims are settled as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Homeowners who have incurred damage have until January 30 to lodge a claim.
