Yes, you can petition for your spouse but if you do not have income or have insufficient income, you will need to get a joint sponsor to sign the affidavit of support on your spouse's behalf.

As a US citizen or green card holder, your disability cannot be a factor if you ant to file petition for your husband to come to the United States. Although, if you file for him, you must show you can financially support him if he gets a green card. You can have a friend or relative co-sponsor the I-864 Affidavit of Support with you.

Yes, but you may need to ask some (usually a friend or relative) who has sufficient income and a U.S. citizen or permanent resident to be your husband's joint-sponsor.

If you are a Citizen and your husband is a foreign national and you receive disability you may be able to do an I-864 for him if you have sufficient assets. Alternatively, if you are not able to use your assets (even though you are getting disability) you can obtain the support for the I-864 of a joint sponsor. You will need to do an analysis about the way to proceed.
