Just ask

I recently got both when moving across the country for the job. Depending on the level and what’s included in the relocation package (maybe there is a large sum that is just given for misc expenses) I would say asking is okay

Ask for signing bonus based on the value you believe you bring, and any opportunity lost by taking the new job (other than relo), such as missed bonus or comp cycle, benefits lapse from ending one job to starting new one, etc.
