Whether the GeneralAire 1099-20 and GeneralAire 990-13 humidifier pads interchange.

Not interchangeable. The GeneralAire 1099-20 and GeneralAire 990-13 fit different humidifiers.
Fitment notes

Both are GeneralAire pads but they are not related. The 1099-20 is a 14.25-inch wide pad for the 1099 Legacy; the 990-13 is a 9.75-inch pad for the 1040 and 1042. Neither fits the other's humidifier.

The 1099-20 is far wider than the 990-13. If your unit is a 1040 or 1042, the 1099-20 will not seat in the tray. Confirm the GeneralAire model before buying.

Read the number stamped on the humidifier cabinet or printed on the old pad, then match it below. Confirm the frame size before buying a generic.
