Revised: January 27, 2021

In November of 2017, the Employment Development Department joined forces with the National Association of State Workforce Agencies and Hilton Worldwide to launch the Hilton HonorsTM Military Rewards Program in California. The program provides up to a lifetime limit of 100,000 Hilton Honors points to use for hotel stays when qualified employment-related travel is required and exceeds 50 miles from the veteran’s 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 included below and provide program information to all eligible individuals that may benefit from the program. In addition, included below are the 6 Steps to a Successful Referral, Referral Form and Military Program FAQ for additional information about the program.

If you have any questions about this program, email the Veterans Program Unit at WSBVeteranHiltonHonors@edd.ca.gov.
