They may, if you are moving from city to city, or interstate, or overseas.  But
I didn't think to ask, as I was moving within my home city.  Technically I
*could* commute, it just would be like 3 hours at least a day commuting (on a
good day!)

In the end, the salary increase just wasn't enough from my current job to
warrant the trouble.
