More details to this question:
I am a 69 years old and very sick. I am a legal resident for over 30 years and I wanted to file for social security retirement and SSI due to my illness. But there's a problem. In my green card, I got my name and both of my father’s last name but in my birth certificate I got my dad and my mom’s last names.

It is best to confirm all the names to one standard. You probably will have to amend the way the names are read on the green card. However, prior to doing that, you should speak with the SSA.
