To your question about benefits.
1. With settled status, you are allowed any benefits as far as you meet the condition. Remember benefits are means tested.
2. Pre settled status holders are not allowed to draw means tested benefits but only contributory benefits.
But under the EEA Regulations, someone derivative holders can take benefits if your Zambrano is not on british citizen child.
Big ups
Your rights with settled or pre-settled status
You’ll be able to:
work in the UK use the NHS for free as you do now enrol in education or continue studying, acess public funds such as benefits and pensions, if you’re eligible for them travel in and out of the UK.
Snooke is right. If anybody have pre settle staus as zambrano is not entitled for mainstream benefit.
Nither on drv card nor pre settle status.
Amendment 2019 made to continued to apply same rules.

Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019
Purpose of the instrument
2.1 This instrument makes amendments to Child Benefit and Child Tax Credits regulations, to clarify that the existing rules on access to Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit remain in place for EEA (European Economic Area) and Swiss nationals and for Zambrano carers (non-United Kingdom, non-EEA citizen primary carers of a British citizen child, or adult dependant) who are granted limited leave to enter or remain under the EU Settlement Scheme (the EUSS). The EUSS is the new immigration scheme for EEA and Swiss nationals in the UK (United Kingdom) when the UK leaves the EU (European Union).
Legislative Context
6.1 Under existing legislation, individuals who wish to claim Child Benefit or Child Tax Credit must be:
present in the UK;ordinarily resident in the UK; andhave a right to reside in the UK.
6.4 Regulation 23 and 27 of the Child Benefit (General) Regulations 2006 (SI 2006/223), currently provide that an individual who does not have a right to reside, or who has a right to reside only as a Zambrano carer, is not treated as being within Great Britain or Northern Ireland for the purposes of claiming Child Benefit.
