The form is used to declare government related payments.
Check out the IRS: http://www.irs.gov/instructions/i1099g/ar02.html#d0e73
You need to file a Form 1099-G if you receive income tax refunds, credits or offsets or unemployment payments or some other things.
"payments of unemployment compensation; state or local income tax refunds, credits, or offsets; alternative trade adjustment assistance (ATAA) payments; taxable grants; or agricultural payments. The officer or employee of the government unit having control of the payments (or the designated officer or employee) must file Form 1099-G."

A 1099-G is a form that shows payments received from your government(s) during the taxable year.

1099-G is a form you would get if you had certain government payments that count toward your income for your income tax, such as unemployment. The online form should allow you to mark "none" or "not applicable" if you don't have one. You would only get one if you did receive Unemployment or other similar payments from the government.

the 1099-G is for state tax refunds, and other government paymets that may be taxable received during the year. Unless you received one in the mail you can ignore that question. You can ignore them in the future for tax refunds from the state unless you itemized the previous year. In that case the refund is taxable this year.

Its money you received from the Government, i.e. State Refund Check, Unemployment Benefits....
Gambling winnings would be reported on a W2-G NOT a 1099-G....
If you are a subcontractor you would receive a 1099-MISC.....

The problem is the change of address. did you change your address at the post office when you moved? If you moved more than 6 months ago. you will need to contact the agency that you collected from after Jan 31st to see if they will reissue to your new address, or pick it up. If your move took place within the last 6 months the post office should forward it to you. If you have not gotten it by Feb 15 call the IRS and file a W2 complaint, they will send notice to the payer, make sure to mention that you moved when you call so that the Rep can input your new address to advise the payer of your new mailing address.

It is if you got a refund last year. If you did then the government will send you this form stating how much you recieved back.

If you are independent contractor of a company, not an employee with a W-2...you fill one of those out.
