Yes. While your husband's SSI income is not taxable, your pension and Social Security income probably will be.
Let's discuss the categories of income you will have in 2017.
Your pension
Payments from private and government pensions are usually taxable at your ordinary income rate. However, some pension plans may be exempt from tax on the state level (especially if you are a state employee).
Social Security
Whether or not your Social Security income is taxable depends on your
total income--your Social Security plus any other income. The key figure is the Modified
Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI). The MAGI includes half of your Social
Security, plus other sources of income. Once your MAGI exceeds the base
amount for your filing status ($32,000 for Married Filing Jointly,
otherwise $25,000), at least part of your Social Security income becomes
taxable.

SSI
Your husband's SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is non-taxable. From IRS Pub. 970: "Social security benefits do not include SSI payments, which are not taxable. Do not include these payments in your income."
