You don't get a $10,200 check. You get back any tax you paid on up to $10,200 of unemployment - it lowers your AGI by that amount. How much you get back depends on your other income and margional tax rate. If it was all taxed and you are in the 22% tax bracket, for example, then you would get back about $2,244.
The IRS has said they will start sending refunds at the end of May and continue through June and July.
