It depends on where you are. If you google for pen pin merger, you can find maps of where the pronunciation of the two is the same.

In general, yes, there is a difference. Newfoundland English is the only dialect I’m aware of where anyone would pronounce chick and check the same. @oerkelens The pen-pin merger is generally limited to position before a nasal; check and chick remain separate for most speakers with the pin-pen merger.

@oerkelens: As Janus said, the pen-pin merger isn't relevant to the question of whether "chick" and "check" are pronounced with the same vowel sound. This question is not a duplicate of that one.
