Pre- settled status / right to reside

Dear all
Can any please shed some light on the right to reside and pre settled status.
What is the difference between these terms ?

Actually I was trying to help Someone who is in process of applying for child benefit.

She is non eu currently residing in the UK on the pre-settled status issued under the EUSS.
Can anyone also confirm that she is entitled to apply for child benefit and it would not have any negative consequences in the future as she would be applying for the settled status.

There are different meanings for Right to Reside, but in this case it means that an EEA citizen granted pre-settled status, can only have UK public funds if they are working.

Your post should really be on the EEA route Applications board. They will know how to work out it she can have public funds through her EEA sponsor.

Would a Mod please move this thread to the EEA board.

I should have also said that if she is from a country who has an agreement with the UK for Child Benefit, then she can claim CB.
These countries are-


Barbados
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Canada
the Channel Islands
Israel
Kosovo
Mauritius
Montenegro
New Zealand
North Macedonia
Serbia

I'm sorry but the question remain the same .
She has pre settles status being an extended family member of the EU citizen ;
Can she claim child benefit as she is residing and working in Ireland ?
Will it have any adverse effects on her future immigration status ?

Who is working in Ireland, benefit claiming person or EU citizen? If the former and they live/work in ROI, that'll be a different ball game.

I'm sorry but the question remain the same .

You are asking two completely different questions here:

1. Is Pre-settled status the same as right to reside.
2. Is some eligible for child benefits when they have Pre-Settled Status.

Therefore, no, the question does not remain the same. In fact, it is still unclear to me what your actual question is.

To start with, the reason these two questions are not the same, is that many visas and resident permits give the right to reside WITHOUT giving the right to child benefits. In other words, the right to reside does not automatically give anyone the right to child benefits. It's important to know that.

Second, the straightforward answer to number 1 above is: No, Pre-Settled status is not the same as right to reside in the UK. Pre-Settled status is one of many ways of having the right to reside in the UK. If you have pre-settled status, you have the right to reside; but one can have the right to reside without having Pre-Settled status. So, conceptually and logically these are not equivalent.

For answer to Number 2, can you clarify something. You said:

She is non eu currently residing in the UK on the pre-settled status issued under the EUSS.

and also:

Can she claim child benefit as she is residing and working in Ireland ?

Which one is it? Is she residing in the UK or in the Republic of Ireland? Or do you mean she resides in Norther Ireland?

My bad that was typing error.
Apologies
As stated earlier she is a non-EU citizen and currently holds pre-settled status.
She is residing in the united kingdom.
