we always file jointly but this year we separated and my husband gets SSI and Medicaid because of it. so I don't know if I should still file jointly

You can file jointly without affecting his SSI or medicaid.  If you file jointly, you will need to enter his SSA-1099 (if he receives one) on your return.

Are you still married and living separately, or are you divorced?
