Are you still married and living separately, or are you divorced?
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.
It's the form sent to the recipients of Social Security benefits. It's a long paper with pink (or red) boxes on it that comes from the SSA.
He did not receives it are you sure he will not loose his SSI and Medicaid if we fille jointly. ( big difference for me )
