Yes.as long as you do not contribute more than your annual limit.
You can contribute to a Roth IRA after age 70.5 as long as you have earned income, but you cannot contribute to a traditional IRA after that age. For a 401(k) plan, it depends on the rules of the specific plan, but typically you can continue to contribute to it past age 70.5 as long as you are still working and the plan allows for it.
Any employee, regardless of the type of work he or she performs, is eligible for a 401k if the employer offers it. An employer is not required to offer a 401k, however. If an employer-sponsored plan (401k, 403b, SEP IRA, etc.) is not available, often individuals will contribute to a Traditional IRA or Roth IRA.

When deciding were to invest your retirement money you have many options, two of those are an IRA and a 401K. A 401K is set up by the employer, where as an IRA is set up on personal preferences.
One needs to roll their 401k to an IRA. One needs to physically authorize the removal of the 401K funds to the new location. If the IRA is at the same institution as the 401k, less paper work may be involved.
