USAA filed a WARN notice for the layoffs on May 16th but did not file a notice for any of the layoffs in 2022 or before May 2023—any idea why this most recent layoff required a notice?

In IT asset management areas most of the scrum masters and product owners (mostly contractors) let go on 05/26 due to the Decision made by new executive director Vivek Gupta brought in by Amala. He has no idea how this business is run and he will soon learn about teams that are not delivering anything.
Sorry, I meant to type "500" instead of 590 in my last post.
Regarding "another firing...," we are at the hands of the Mad King. Note: I find this more common in the finance area than in other areas (retail, healthcare, production). This is from conversations I have had with HR professionals in my inner circle.
Does that mean another firing waiting at the door ?
@moz+1mOvhnBQ is spot on. I used to be an HR Director at another company. Rule of thumb was 400 every 90 days to avoid filing WARN. There are other fortune 590 companies that follow this rule.
WARN notices are only required for 500 or more, which is why they have mostly done 200-400 at a time - to avoid the bad press, which ends up leaking out anyways.
"Lays off 500 or more workers (not counting part-time workers) at a sin- gle site of employment during a 30-day period; or lays off 50-499 work- ers (not counting part-time workers), and these layoffs constitute 33% of the employer’s total active workforce (not counting part-time work- ers) at the single site of employment;"
Good question. Have no idea why. It would be interesting to know.
