What are you referring to? Are you referring to the unemployment income exclusion passed this Spring in the ARPA Act? And did you file your return prior to the enactment of the "up to" $10,200 unemployment income exclusion? The already inundated IRS is working hard to get the related refunds out, but it will take all summer. It's unpredictable where you would be in the queue. They have finished the first batch with the simplest returns, and are now moving on with the more complicated ones.
See this latest IRS press release from June 4:
"The IRS plans to issue the next set of refunds in mid-June. The review of returns and processing corrections will continue during the summer as the IRS continues to review the simplest returns and then turns to more complex returns."
"Taxpayers will receive letters from the IRS, generally within 30 days of the adjustment, informing them of what kind of adjustment was made (such as refund, payment of IRS debt payment or payment offset for other authorized debts) and the amount of the adjustment."
You might get an additional refund if you had unemployment income in 2020. You do not have to do anything, but you might have to wait a few more months. The IRS expects to send the refunds out over the course of the summer and there is no way to track it so all you can do is wait.
You will not get an amended tax return form, just the additional refund and a letter explaining it.
