Why were you denied for SSI? Assets too high, or you weren't found to be disabled per SS rules?

I was turned down for ssi because my husband is on disability and it was over the income limit

That explains why you were turned down so quickly. Unfortunately, if you don't have the work credits, you won't qualify for SSDI, and if you're family income and assets are too high for SSI, then there isn't a next step in terms of trying to pursue SS until age 62.

Even with medical problems..I had a lower lumbar mri .They said I have a disc bulging at L3-L4...Arthritis at every level..and Lateral Stenosis at L3-L4 and L4-L5..On the right side..

I already know I have osteoarthritis in both knees.(candidate for knee replacement but wouldn't do it because of age).Arthritis in my hips,back and ankles

It doesn't matter what your disability it. You could be legally blind which is an automatic qualifier--if you don't have the work credits you won't be able to qualify for SSDI, and if you have too much in assets and/or household income, you won't qualify for SSI. This is why I always encourage everyone I know to never work under the table or to work as a family caregiver in exchange for potential inheritance, etc.
