Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yikes.
Seems unlikely there's no budget. It's a senior position with a great deal of travel, for a pretty specialized international firm. I find it hard to believe they don't have the funds for a relo, although it's clearly an issue if they found it necessary to ask about it.
Yeah, probably right. In that situation I would definitely try to hedge a bit. (Unless it's a deal breaker on your end, in which case you're better off knowing before you invest too much.)

In my limited experience, relo is bizarre. We got relo from the Federal Government for a 3-year post-doc, but not for a permanent Federal position. (For that, they had a $3000 budget for office furniture, but it could not be used for a move.) Let us not even mention the job in Germany where they asked you to fly yourself out for the interview, and if the interview was successful, you could start the next day, and if you stayed 6 months they would pay half your airfare.

Consuela,
is it on the form, a check off (yes, no) or a line?
If you have room, you might say what is suggested above: "it is possible I would relo without funds. I would need more details."
Technically, moving expenses are covered by taxes, but any kind of adult likely would need some help toward relocation.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, my. I just got another detail. While the guys had her pinned down waiting for the police she was alternating between pleading to be let go and singing "We Are The World".

Yikes, aurelia! (No, new auto-correct, I did not want to capitalize that!)

That's just wackadoo!

Wow, that's really quite ridiculous.
I shall make the "need more details" response. It's a position in Portland, and while housing prices are much more reasonable there, it would be a big leap to relocate after 16 years in the Bay Area. Also, the position is in a team that's scattered all over the country, so I'm not convinced that it really needs to be in Portland...

That is hilarious.
I just officially signed my offer letter and sent my acceptance to HR. Done and done. Except I won't be changing over until the end of July.

Congrats, shrift! Go you life-ruiner.
