I didn't receive a 1099-g for 2016, however I received unemployment in 2016 which wasn't paid to me until 1-9-17, how do I handle this

Since you did not receive the unemployment until 1-9-17 then you would handle this by waiting and filing this unemployment income on your 2017 return.  Because you didn't receive the money until 2017 you should receive the 1099-G next year and at then you can enter it on your tax return next year.
