Tenth Circuit -- Tomlinson v. El Paso Corp

Tomlinson v. El Paso Corp

ERISA does not require notification of wear-away periods so long as employees are informed and forewarned of plan changes.

Essentially, when a plan transitions, it takes awhile for monies accrued to catch up to minimum benefits - this period of flat-line benefits can arguably discriminate against older employees.
