Hilton Honors Military Rewards Program
Workforce Services Information Notice
WSIN25-04
Issued: August 20, 2025
In November of 2017, the Employment Development Department joined forces with the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA) and Hilton Worldwide to launch the Hilton Honors Military Rewards Program in California. This program provides veterans with a lifetime limit of up to 100,000 Hilton Honors points for hotel stays, when qualified employment-related travel takes them more than 50 miles from their residence. If eligible veterans do not exhaust the lifetime limit of 100,000 points during their initial request, an additional request may be submitted if eligibility is met. The lifetime limit applies to all Hilton Honors points received from all states participating in the program.
The Hilton Honors Military Rewards Program is now available to eligible California Veterans, Active Reservists/Guard Members, and Transitioning Service Members who meet the eligibility requirements.
America’s Job Center of CaliforniaSM staff and Workforce Partners are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the EDD Hilton Military Program Process, and to provide program information to all eligible individuals that may benefit from the program. Visit the NASWA website to learn more and to view the Hilton Honors Military Program FAQ, and use the 5 Steps to a Successful Referral and Hilton Honors Referral Form below to assist customers with this process.
If you have any questions about this program, email the Veterans Program Unit at WSBVeteranHiltonHonors@edd.ca.gov.
