Could be (spider)mites, but I guess it's a little too early in the
spring for a major attack. I'd say you overwatered them. If they get too
little water their leaves turn yellow before they fall. If they get too
much water (combined with cold), then the leaves fall while still green.
Sadly, benjamins are reluctant to regrow if totally defoliated (unless
the climate is perfect for them) so I think your trees are dead. I could
be mistaking, though. I'd strongly suggest that you check the roots, cut
off the rotten ones and repot using a free draining soil mix. Good luck!
