Q.   How do I know if I should be expecting additional refund based on the (up to) $10,200 unemployment exclusion. 

A. Prepare a test return with $10,200 less income  and compare the result to the original return.  You can use this tool

If your tax liability was already zero, it's unlikely that you will be getting more.  But, it's possible, particularly if you become eligible for more EIC.
