That depends. If you are Married Filing Jointly, but residents of different states, you could file separate state returns.
Since Illinois does not tax retirement income, your husband may not need to file an Illinois return, unless he has other types of income.
Michigan does not tax Social Security, but does tax other types of retirement income. However, Michigan does not allow Married Filing Separately unless your Federal return was also Married Filing Separately.
Check with Michigan Dept. of Revenue if you need more specific info.
