Retirement tax questions

This month I received all my 2020 pandemic unemployment payments in a lump sum after a lengthy appeals process so my 1099-G says $0 for last year. I called the Govt for an updated version but they had no answers for me, except that it would probably all be reported on 2021's 1099-G. So do I need to calculate what I should have received for 2020 and file that number? Or do I have to wait and file it all for 2021 (which is not the best outcome for my taxes). Any guidance welcome since the Govt couldn't advise.
