Should I amend? Or am I screwed cause I live in Idaho

I already filed and got my return. I paid my taxed unemployment from my federal side of my taxes. Will I be eligible for the rescue plan of getting those funds back? I live in idaho and I know they're denying there residents any proper chance for recovery especially in regards to this unemployment refund. Since it came out of my federal return does that change anything? Should I amend this?

Here is why you do NOT amend your federal return for unemployment:

Please read this very recent news from the IRS:

Idaho did not change the state laws for taxing unemployment so you will not get an additional refund from the state for tax withheld from your unemployment by ID.
