The correct sentence is: ¿Ya no hayas que hacer verdad?.

Some people with not a lot of studies talk like that.

It means:

¿You don't know what to do right?

It's a common phrase to describe someone who doesn't have work to do or dishes to wash or something and starts to do "lazy" or "idle" things.

En realidad es:

Ya no hallas qué hacer, ¿verdad?

You can´t figure out what else to do, right?

Or maybe:

You can no longer figure out what else to do, right?

"Ya no hayas que hacer veda" = You don't have to do anything (maybe that's it)

To be grammatically correct:

"Ya no hay [nada] que hacer, verdad?" = There is nothing to do anymore, right?

"Ya no has de hacer nada. ¿Verdad?" = You don't have to do anything anymore, right?

I'm open to any corrections smile

Maybe they were commenting on how you were not banned from eating in front of the TV (in the living room or wherever), because they are not allowed to do so?

The SD translation tool lists "You do not have closure" as a possible translation.

The SD dictionary lists "veda" as a "ban".

Can you provide more context? That will help.
