I reached State Pension age in November 2018 but was not in employment during tax year 2018-19. Can I make a Voluntary Contribution for the 2018-19 tax year?

Hi,
Only complete tax years will count towards pension entitlement.
You are neither liable nor eligible to pay NICs after you reach state pension age and so would only be able to pay from April to November 2018.
As this is not a complete tax year, it would not improve your pension entitlement. 
Thank you.
