1Opinion of the Court
HARRY T. EDWARDS, Circuit Judge.
The principal question in this case is whether plaintiffs-appellants Marian Wag-ener and Donald Champoux stated a claim upon which relief can be granted in their complaint alleging that defendant-appellee, the SBC Pension Benefit Plan-Nonbar-gained Program (“SBC Plan” or “Plan”), impermissibly discriminated against plaintiffs and other Plan participants in the administration of the SBC Plan. We conclude that plaintiffs have indeed stated a claim under § 502(a)(1)(B) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a)(1)(B)…
