If my husband only source of income was social security and I made more than he did why can't I be HOH?

Because head of household is a special filing status that only applies to people who are single, or who are living separated from spouse, and to also provide care for a dependent child.

 You can file as married filing jointly, even if one spouse does not have income, and in most cases that will result in lower overall tax.
