There is WN status does not provide Pre-Check. Period. Although DHS claims to have eliminated "managed inclusion," it still manages to slip through for some on occasion. But, nobody should plan on it. In fact, as those who have slipped through are identified, they should expect to have the "inclusion" closed off.
If one wants Pre-Check, it is $85 for 5 years. Unless one knows that one is disqualified, it seems a good investment. Even if you fly only 4 round trips per year, that works out to $2.13 in each direction. Well worth it merely to not have to take one's shoes off.

I seem to recall reading a couple years ago that some managed inclusion was still done if there was excess capacity in Pre. My mother gets it about half the time without having paid for it. I paid for it and it was well worth it when I flew to Disneyworld just after Thanksgiving.

Managed inclusion is supposed to have been pulled as part of a commitment made by DHS to its Congressional appropriators. Any remainder is simply poor technology occasionally helping a lucky and dwindling number.
