scheduled award

[acadol9]

I am still working and have applied for a scheduled award, my question is if I recieve a scheduled award for loss of vision in one eye, can I recieve workers comp if I no longer meet the vision requirements for my job.

each state has it's own work comp system and rules.
there is no one answer for each state.
without knowing your jurisdiction your question cannot be answered. that's why this site asks posters to give their location

I live and work in New York State, the injury took place in Ga. However I am a federal employee. Are the rules the same for Feds as they are for everyone else.

no, not the same.
the federal government administers a number of different workers compensation programs depending on the agency or type of employment.
you can find out more about which rules apply to your claim here
