Hello sunraesmom,
I understand it can be frustrating waiting for a refund. The IRS did not require an amended return be filed for the unemployment compensation exclusion. The IRS is automatically adjusting those returns, and issuing the refunds.
The lower refund may be related to a different issue on your tax return, possibly a Recovery Rebate Credit on Form 1040 line 30.
I recommend you request a tax transcript from the IRS. There are different types of transcripts, and you would want the Record of Account Transcript as it will reflect changes the IRS made to your originally filed return. You can then see why the refund amount is less than expected.

I hope you find this information useful!
