Yes, you should be able to. What happens (exactly) when you try?

Agreed. I've passed the recommendation on to our development team to resolve this in an upcoming release.

Thank you!

Clicking on 'Remove' showed a loading symbol as if something was happening, then the page refreshed and the dependent was still there.

I figured out what was going on, though: the extra dependents had no names or birth dates. I made up some values to fill in those fields and then the 'Remove' worked. Note: NO dependents could be deleted, even valid ones, until ALL dependents had all their values filled in.

Seems like a bug to me. Remove should work even on dependents with empty fields.
