I have a 401k that includes after tax contributions (post 1986). I am considering rolling the plan over to a traditional IRA. The plan adminstrator said I will receive a check for the after tax amount in the 401k.

Can I rollover the after tax amount contributions to an existing Roth IRA?

Thanks In Advance.

Yes. As long as the amount is rollover eligible
