\b[True.] Every $\beta<\omega_1$ is a <countable ordinal>, and
$$
\beta+\omega_1=\sup_{\xi<\omega_1}(\beta+\xi)=\omega_1.
$$
Writing any $\alpha\geq\omega_1$ as $\omega_1+\delta$ and using <associativity of ordinal addition>[associativity] gives
$$
\boxed{\beta+\alpha=(\beta+\omega_1)+\delta
=\omega_1+\delta=\alpha.}
